The previous wagons had the smaller 40 series Detroit engine and Allison EVS 3000 series transmission that was ok, however, the new wagons were made for city driving.



The doors is one of the biggest difference in the 2005 and 2006 batch. Also the 2006 Seagrave and according to the DCFD all future apparatus shall be constructed of Stainless Steel, both the cab and the body. That is why the S.S. turned up in the shop numbers to identfy which pieces are constructed from Stainless Steel. Engine Co. 10 is S-160, where is Engine 8 is S-??? S.S.[/quote]



One correction, the 'previous wagons' you mention in your first paragraph had 50 series engines.



The serial number on the newest Seagraves, which are stainless steel, is located under the headlights on the left side of the cab (right side if you are looking at the cab).
