Are you able to post a picture of both of them

Are you able to search the internet? You ask everyone to post pictures of trucks, you can easily search the internet to find them.

Code 3 Skywalker as example that search will show you several images

Fire Replicas models, simply search the Firereplicas.com page to see several pictures.

Ok thank you! I forgot I could do that. Sorry!

Tough question, I have many favorites. I'll still have to say it's my Code 3 Diamond Plate Skywalker Pierce. The detail is amazing. All cabinet doors open with intricate detail inside. The radio even has the coiled wire to the handset.
A close second will be my Fire Replicas Chicago Tower 37, or maybe the FDNY TSU 1, or.....
Not enough space to list them all

Hi Troy,

Love those too.

You need to come out here and see them in person https://www.lacountyfiremuseum.com/

CoolFireTrucks: I don't have a photo hosting site anymore, so I'm not sure I can post a picture on here.

Well, thats okay. Thanks for telling me though!

The favorite in my collection is a 1930's Hubley Cast Iron 12" Ahrens-Fox. It's the largest of the 6 Fox's that Hubley made and the only one with a separate driver, ladders and hose reel. It took me about 20 years to get one that was complete with no broken front bumper or pump siamese, both often broken. Original rubber tires. Hope to post an image of it shortly.

Great, I am really looking forward to the picture!

From my collection, It's hands down the Squad 51, Engine 51 Emergency! set from Code-3 Collectibles. I don't think there's a more iconic set of fire apparatus known to mankind than these two rigs. I have all of my fingers and toes crossed hoping Fire Replicas will do one or both of these rigs.

Yes, those are great rigs! Thanks for sharing!

Your wooden rig is really neat! Thanks for posting!
My department runs a 1:50 1980's Ford C Athearn 55 foot telesquirt (actually spelled telesqurt). It has been labeled as County Truck Company 410, out of station 10. I adore the good old solid and dependable rigs with roaring Detroit Diesel or Cummins engines. Ours has features added in-house as part of its refurbishment.

Your welcome! It is a nice rig.

Wow, thats very cool! Where did you get yours?

For me, it's my Code-3 Ventura CoFD ALF. I added numbers from Rich's decal sheet from that department. A close second is the Code-3 LAFD Pierce.

Cool! Picture maybe?
