These old Bruco engines are fantastic. I would love to see a Bruco book. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' />

Scott,



Additional info on:



Trainer:



1959 Ward LaFrance, semi-cab, 750/200, model 185t. In 1975 it was completly rehabed and refinished with a new 750 gallon tank, Waterous pump was rebuilt for $1,200, the motor was completly cleaned and tuned, and it was repainted BW. It was sold in 1979.



Viscose #2 - Marcus Hook



1962 Mack N/Maxim, semi-tilt COE (cutaway cab roof), 75 ft steel mid-mount ladder. It was purchased by the borough for $46,000 and housed 11/62. I believe this was the only one built of this kind. The chassis was replaced in 1981 with the International.

I believe that truck was purchased by the bunola Fire department, the only thing they changed on the truck was the lettering.

So would I. We stopped by the Bruco factory one day (yes they are still in business) to inquire bout old photos. We were told they threw out all that old junk. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Blink' />
