[quote name='KFDI3' post='7658' date='Jul 11 2006, 21:08 ']Chicago IL E-14 WLF/E-One/Ranger Rebuild[/quote]
I was wondering if anyone had Specs on the Ward LaFrance Rangers that Chicago ran, I need measurements for a 1:25 scale build.
Thanks

What Ward LaFrance thread would be complete without the home town rigs. I don't have the numbers for these two and they were sold in 2005. I could put you in touch with the department if you need the info. These are reposts from the old site.

All I remember about this rig from Branchport, NY was that it was up for sale when I took the picture two years ago.
