Keystone State Relics
More Goodies from around my area. The Duncansville Pemfab was sold to Irvona FD and then to the Mahaffaey FD both in Clearfield County, PA. Not sure if it served anywhere prior to Duncansville. All the rigs you posted are from PA. Six Mile Run is in Bedford County. The Mack MB engine was sold to the Robertsdale, Wood, & Broadtop FD in Huntingdon County. Huntingdon FD no longer owns any of the rigs that you posted. The Seagrave ladder is now in service at the West Newton FD in Westmoreland County, PA. Beale Twp. FD is in Juniata County, PA. just south of my county. They no longer own either of those rigs. The Mack C engine came from the Yeagertown FD in Mifflin County, PA. Hope this info helps. I'm sure that the Doc will fill in the year, and pump/tanks.

Bruce,



I know the chief of Huntingdon, so it won't be hard to get pictures of the ladder. I'm going to probably wait until next spring though.

Comparing the Duncansville picture to the Beverly rig posted below pretty much confirms that it is the same truck.

I finally got my Ion Slide Scanner to work today!!! I'm not happy with how the slides look, so I'm getting a new scanner. I figured I would throw these 3 practice scans up for you guys.

Scott,



Here is one I thought you would enjoy. Too bad that Iconografix won't do a Bruco book because this would be a great one for in it.



Incase anybody can't tell the color from the scan and name of the department, it is a Cranberry color.

And last, but not least is this very intersting Mack Tanker from the Saxonburg FD in Butler County.

Negative, those 2 tractors were 1965s.

According to John Malecky in his excellent Mack Tilt-cab Fire Apparatus (pg. 11), this was a used 1968 Mack F-series chassis that was built by Winthrop? (don't have any info on them) in 1976 for Saxonburg using a 1250 GPM ALF pump, and a 3000 gal. tank.

I recall this rig also running at Freedom Twp. VFC in Blair County until 1990 when it was replaced there, it may have gone to another PA VFD after that.

Running at Monarch VFC, Fayette Co.,PA. in 2003 was this x-Saxonburg 1971 Mack CF with a 1984 1000/1000 4-Guys body.
