[quote name='massfirebuff' post='34376' date='Sep 15 2006, 20:41 ']I almost forgot to post this, here is what remains of the Ahrens Fox. I repainted it a few years ago, also the serial number is printed on the botton left corner, although not visible in this picture.
I found this when I cleaned out my grand parents house. There were other parts around too from what I was told but never found them. Too bad they didn't keep the whole thing!
I wonder if it's not a part number. That's a transmission cover. Here's a pic of the J chassis layout from the Ed Hass site www.affba.org with the tranny cover nicely in place.

BYW, notice the little red arrow at the start of this post? click it and you're taken back to the original post. What will Ed Burke think of next?

That Baltimore Cab that you say was used for LADDER 49- Do you mean for interior shots? And if so why didnt they just use the interior of the engine they used?
Relics - AS702 - 09-24-2006
Angus,
It has no rear wall.. The other truck was used for on scene shots and could not have had cameras used for interior shots mounted all the time..

[quote name='Dr. Stinebaugh' post='34442' date='Sep 16 2006, 08:57 ']Anybody else think that the GMC/National Foam? rig for Mobile Oil in posts 207-208 is the same truck pictured in the "teaser ad" on pg.34 in the latest FAJ?[/quote]
It is. It was in a junkyard near Emmitsburg, Md. about two years ago.

Quote:Ooops I forgot credit to the photographer - Bob Battis of Beverly who's writing a history of the department. He sent pix of the Fox TDA and also their other Fox pumper.
Phil, Bklyn.
And to think that I was "saving" up some of these pics to forward to Bob! I guess I can forget that idea, LOL. Bob, has an incredible memory. He provided some details on an old photo from the 1960's that had some Danvers apparatus in it. He told me what he was doing at the time and almost all of the apparatus on scene. What an incredible memory and source of information on anything "north shore."

On a recent trip through Tennessee, I stumbled upon this 70th Anniversary Seagrave 1000 GPM pumper at a construction company in Triune. I believe it's x-Nashville. N.F.I.

I'm surprised that poor 671 made it that far!
Relics - Guest - 09-26-2006
Ahhh Old Baltimore City Truck 16. That truck was on ebay in 2004 and would not sell. If anyone is looking for the information to this rig it is a 1989 Spartan Monarch/L.T.I 106 Foot ladder.

At last check, Baltimore's ex E- 47 was still hiding in the weeds in Linthicum Md. , along with several other old rigs.
It's twin ex E- 13/56 was scrapped at at the Brandywine junkyard.

The GMC/National Foam unit for Mobil Oil I would say is the same as the one in FAJ. Seems that the roof light was mounted sometime while it was in service.
THe rig is the same. It operated from the Mobil Oil Terminal in the Greepoint section of Brooklyn. I shot it operating at a 3rd alarm in the same facility working side by side with the FDNY. Photo By HWDoyle

It is the Foam Unit from FAJ. I shot the rig while operating at a multiple alarm fire on Greenpoint Av in Brooklyn at the Mobil Oil Terminal. The year was around 1975. The rig itself was kept in a garage on the property and was difficult to photo due to restrictions on private property. Anyway, they had a fire and it worked side by side with the FDNY rigs. Ergo, a working photo of the elusive truck. Photo By HWDoyle

Here are 2 shots I found of the old Baltimore City Rescue 1 1950 Mack L.
