Glad you are enjoying the older ones. So many FD's really had "humble" beginnings when you see these old apparatus.
I am curious about the Chantilly engine - it was my understanding that Chantilly's 1968 International/Young at one point ended up at the Trevilians VFD in approximately 1983. I had heard that a Chantilly engine was in a junk yard in that area, and assumed it was the 1968. I would be very curious what you find.
Thanks Taylor,

Mike/Taylor,
Chantilly's 1959 IHC is on Fredericks Hall Rd just east on Mineral (Louisa Co.) before you get to the rail crossing. I do not have any info on the '68 (known as the White Elephant in FFX) after it left Fairfax's Training Center.
