Not unless the Light Bar was changed and the "side" Reverse lights were removed.

[/quote]They really are different rigs, the windows in Trey's photo are larger. I took those three photos at least 12 to 15 years ago and the way it appears, quite possibly both rigs could be W12 in different time periods.

1. I miss the term "Wagon" here in NOVA - AND the 2-piece "Wagon + Engine" or "Engine + Pumper" concept

2. I miss the retired OWL and DCVFD Hahn rigs

3. I Miss all the OWL Hurricanes

4. Oh, yeah. I miss the Roto-Ray's!

I made a spur of the moment trip to Charles City County on Thursday. This is a very rural locality just east of Richmond International Airport. There are three fire stations in the county and I was fortunate to catch someone at the main building on Adkins Rd. Several of these units were lacking a builder plate, thus some missing information. Most of their apparatus is painted this dark blue color. Not sure why, but this first rig is lettered as an Engine rather than a Tanker.

[/quote] Nope originally Wagon 14 now is a fleet reserve stored at OWL's shop/warehouse. This unit is an 88 E\-One, is the OWL 50th anniversary unit, and the 1st "Popemobile" or raised roof E\-One pumper.
