I was at FDIC and I looked closely at the Q on the bumper of Engine 8 and, to my dismay, saw an electronic speaker behind it. Maybe it's better than no Q at all but... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Other than that, it's not a bad looking rig and it's definately a conversation piece, for sure, as to the way the front and rear preconnects are set up on it. If it works for the StLFD then it's all good! That's what's most important.
I do like the fact that the new pumpers wil be designated on the radio as "Engines." I think the quints should be called "Quints" on the radio instead of "Trucks." And while we're at it, they should start calling 801, 802, etc. "Battalion 1", "Battalion 2", etc., etc. on the radios as well. I don't like the "Officer 1", "Officer 2", etc. or "801", "802", etc. designations. "810" should be something like "Deputy 1" or "Division Chief 1" like in other big cities. But that's just me!
