It's a combination of bothe being deliberate and coming from real life inspiration. Growing up in the Northeast, around Boston, there aren't many "modern" fire stations to draw inspiration from, so I go with what I have. I do have a few, but I am (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.town)

Hi Greg, Thanks, I am glad you like it. I have been using the castle doors for awhile now, I think they give the stations a "rustic" look. I haven't quite done the interior yet. I have 9 stations built, and two complete interiors, and just don't (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.town)

I've made rear-mount towers in the past, but in order for them to fit in the stations, the bucket has to pretty much cover the front window, so I went with the mid-mounts. I like the mid-mounts because they allow the trucks to get closer to the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.town)
