7886 was one of four delivered to Atlanta, this one served as Ladder 11.
7844 went to the East Eden Fire Company and ran as Engine 3.
8126 is a representation of a program truck from ALF. Called the "Interstate Special", they can be easily identified by a third cab door hinge and the small jumpseat window.
Anxious to see more!

Ingomar and Larimer each had a snorkel. Larimers went to Eastern Derry, PA and then headed south. It is now lime green. Ingomar may still own theirs.

Quote:What did the Interstate Special include? What was its purpose? Was it just a cheaper alternative?I don't have all the details on the Interstate Special, but here's how it was explained to me: ALF met with representatives from several large city FD's and came up with a pumper spec that all of them could work with. With the exception of paint and lettering, most Interstate Specials are identical, almost "cookie cutter", which most likely led to a discounted price. The basic concept came from the 80 Century New Yorker pumpers that were delivered to FDNY in 1981, but the Interstate Specials did not have 4 door cabs.
