Thanks! And what does 'S' scale mean?
The 3 scales are 1/87 which is HO about the size of a matchbox or hot wheel car, 'S' scale is 1/64th, the size of Troy's emergency trucks he posted, and 'O' scale which is 1/50th the size of corgi trucks.

Perfect, thank you!

Ah Joe, this brings back memories! Amazing job on the trucks and everything else. I always knew the old headquarters station is in good hands.

Take care,
Michael

Great looking models! I wish I had the room for stations! I wonder if any of the fire station modelers build station facades. That would be cool.

Mark,

I got this one from Twin Whistle, it's a Facade about 2 inches deep(per my request) next to foam building facade. He has done others in different scales. This one was for Engine 42, Squad 1 in Chicago "O" scale.

You may also be able to find some old DSL facades these were in 'S' and 'O'' scale for American Flyer and Lionel train layouts I have the South Side firehouse, they were located in the Chicago area so the buildings copied were from that area.

Washington Township New Station

2018-12-26T22:10:24

Washington Township fire company 23, has moved out of it it 1920’s era 2 Story 3 bay station, originally a Pine Canyon station built up by Michael Heigh. The new modern station is also a 3 bay this was the last Fire Station built by the designer Marc Mead. Awesome job Marc! Now I need to finish the inside.

Now my Liberty Township trucks can move in to the old one. Both are 'S' scale code 3's fit perfectly.
