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.

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.

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

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.
