Fire Replicas 2022

[Alfyboy]

Anyone feel like guessing what we might see in the coming year?

I'm hoping for some Crown Fire Coaches including a snorkel.

Maxim S's and F's (the S's in particular)

ALF TDA (preferably San Fran w/ the wooden ladders)

ALF Rear Mounts/Snorkels

Some of the new Rosenbauer rear mount pumpers black over red w/ black wheels - stunning!

Ditto for the Ferrara Rescue Pumpers

Don't know what model Ward LaFrance this is but it's pretty cool looking:

All great choices.

A snorkel would be great.

That WlF looks like Port Chester NY former engine. If so I am all in since I played around it in y youth.

Sirentoys: So did I. Are you from P.C.?

[Sirentoys]

Originally yes. I grew up there in the 70s. (Makes me sound old.) Bewteen walking home and doing my paper route in jr high I could hit all 4/5 stations.

Me too man. Grew up in the Washington Park in the 70's. Had a paper route myself. Two to be exact. I went to Corpus Christi and then PCHS. I bet we know each other.

[Sirentoys]

Cool. I lived on King St across from Lyons Park. My route started at Brooksville Station on Willett and ended downtown near Lifesavers/Mellor=Putnam station. I went to Corpus Christi and remember Father Rinaldi. We likely crossed paths.
I went back a couple years ago and it was much the same but also different.

1937 ALF Senior 400 series Metropolitan Duplex Pumper & 1938 400-B Series Manifold Hose Wagon both for LAFD.

That Ward LaFrance has to be late '50's at least with the dual headlights. We had a 1961 Maxim S series 750 pumper that had them. Here's a 1/25 scale model of it that I built nearly 30 years ago.
