Hey Ben,wow on that 5187 that is cheap!I have enough fire stations however.I
have a front only downtown 3 bay,a nighborhood 3 bay that matchs my houses(6
doors ,3 front 3 back so they can come in the back) and a 4 bay airport(8
doors same as above back/front).
That set (6383 public works)with the yellow garage door grooved parts with
red doors i got in an ebay "large lot of lego" for $200.The whole set was in
that lot including the plates,along with alot of other great early 80's
parts.That set alone goes for $100 or so on ebay so i got a great deal.I
bought several of those police stations for the white garage door parts to.I
put together 10 sets of doors for my airport .White grooves with blue door
handle.It matches my white airport with blue trim.   Ps if you need a fire
station plate(a real one) i may have an extra if Scott dosen't need it.
CWLeach (who loves his garage doors,fire trucks((with lights)) and monorail.)

I nearly forgot the garage door included on the Century Skyway...silly me.
That is a great set, and don't regret ever purchasing it.  I already had
the 6392 Airport, but the Skyway was mandator since it had a nice control
tower, that I could also use to monitor space launch traffic from the
6339 Shuttle Launch.
When and How much did you buy your monorail for.  I bought mine about 16
months ago for just over $300 on E-bay.  A little more than I'd care to
spend but again, money well spent, in my opinion....of course I am refering
to the 6399 Airport Shuttle (aka "The Monorail")
I put together mine, and the only thing about mine was a couple of pieces
missing, and a couple of other substitutions :-(  The missing pieces weren't
vital, just could have add a bit of realism to the set.  I really loved
the way the set functioned, especially the swith stations (stopping, or
going 180 degree-direction!!)
What about Light n Sound.  I thought I'd never be able to get the Light
N Sound Fire Truck or the Airport Fire Squad - two great fire trucks if
you ask me.  I also have 2 copies of the L&S Police truck and 1 copy of
the Night Patroller (Euro set!!!)
