I noticed that lately this thread been missing it's "holiday" posts, so I decided to do up something a little different. I wanted to incorporate as much irish as possible without going overboard and keeping the rig as "realistic" as possible. I hope you all enjoy, and have a happy Saint Patricks Day. ERIN GO BRAGH!

Nice work! As a side note, I take no credit for anything in your drawing. The only thing that I did in my post of the Memphis ALF was change the color of the running boards and added the lettering to Engine 5161's original. Keep up the good work!

Moving a little closer to home, here is a rig that was used somewhat extensively in the Newark NJ and Yonkers NY Fire Dept's. It is a Farrar/Continental COMPAC. I based the drawing off of a photo of a YFD engine but left it unlettered. I remeber quite a few of these in Newark but I think the bodies were a little different.

Wake I love it, awesome job, and like wise to you as well firemark, now i have something that goes with the Somerville Maxim S, engine you posted a while back, Somerville Ladder 3 Maxim S model TDA

   

[EMTChris67]

and also to go with the Maxim engine is Somerville's Diamond REO hose wagon

I saw the Minneapolis trucks above... Here is a Bloomington, MN TDA I did a long time ago. I do apologize to the other members though, I don't have documented on the original photo who to credit for the parts of this, my apologies.

Awesome i love seeing the minnesota stuff. someone should do a st paul Squad.

[Guest]

I gave an older St. Paul Squad a try. This was done strictly from a picture in a book, I've never actually seen the rig, but hopefully it's pretty close to the real one. This is a 1995 White-Volvo chassis with bodywork by Toyne. Credits to Ladder13, AS702, RIEMT, KDWMAEMT, SCFD1290, Rescue29Engine23, and myself.

EMTChris67, Nice work on both of the Somerville rigs. I really like the REO you did up. My dept owns one that I've been working on but haven't quite gotten it nailed down yet. Hopefully I can post it soon.

Odessa, TX Engine 1. The entire Odessa fleet was replaced back in 2007 with 8 Pierce Enforer Pumpers and 2 Pierce Dash 105' Quints (Just a shirt bit of info for you all).

Interesting you picked the one that was wrecked.

[ffemtwakeman]

Figured I would do this one up real quick tonight seeing that I had done the last "generation" of Dallas Engines. Here is one of the new Crimson pumps recently delivered.

   

[ffemtwakeman]

One more from Texas, Fort Worth's new Smeat Quint. Mostly a cut and paste job, but I added the LED's and re-drew the patch on the door.

   

[ffemtwakeman]

Looking back and realizing that my last three posts were of rigs from the great state of Texas, I figured I would finish this one up and share it. From the old cattle town of Abilene, TX Engine 1. Pretty simple paint and graphics, but I had never seen a department have the year of the rig on the door so prominently. Credits in the post, I drew up the Sutphen top mount pump module using some existing parts, modified the body. I also drew up the Tomar LED's, front warning/marker lights and the side marker lights.    

[ffemtwakeman]

Something that I threw together today that I thought was a little different. You don't see too many two door custom cabs around, so I shortened one up and added the Ferrara pump panel and an eliptical tanker body.
