Houston Reserve Engine 1 was photographed filling in at Station 16. It was a 1969 WLF, 1000-500.
Reserve Engine 6 definitely looks like she's been "rode hard and hung out wet to dry." This was a 1966 WLF, 1000-300 rig filling in a Station 51 when I photographed it.

Sorry about the quality of this photo. This 1966 Reserve Pumper 9 was photographed at Station 60. It was a 1966 WLF, 1000-300.
Engine 18 was an unusual WLF. It was one of a couple of 1972 WLF, 1000-500-22 ft elevating platform. I photographed it at Station 16. I believe its twin was stationed at Hobby Airport.
