ImLost Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone. I used to have 2 ladder trucks, but after Rick made the suggestion of turning one into an engine, I took the advice and here it is. I have also made some major revisions to my old ladder truck. Btw, the trucks are based off European models. Here are some inspiration photos I used. Click here for pics. Thanks for looking.

lightningtiger Posted February 15, 2010 Your 7208 is the best one so far - 7239 is nice as well, but the first one I just said is actually quite AWESOME . Especially the equipment and hose storage areas - very cool ! Really like your fire trucks - I'm going to try to do an MFS truck for living here in South Australia, that for me will be after a few more buildings are completed. I'm a conformist! 'I'mLost' I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted February 15, 2010 Nice to see you turned one into an engine. The ground clearance - both in the front and the back - looks a little low on the engine though compared to the ladder. I see you've also changed the grill design on both. It really looks better this way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'I'mLost' I'm a conformist! ! Thanks LT. I have now added 2 ladders on its side in addition to some other minor changes. Hope it looks better now. Good luck on the Austrialian fire truck. Which type are you planning to build, an engine or a ladder? Nice to see you turned one into an engine. The ground clearance - both in the front and the back - looks a little low on the engine though compared to the ladder. I see you've also changed the grill design on both. It really looks better this way! You're right about the ground clearance- its because I installed plates undeneath the cab's steps. I have now removed those plates, which makes the ground clearance look slightly higher (and a lot better IMO). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottwb2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Hi Realy like your fire engines. 2 of the best European moc's I have seen. How did you do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrlegoninja Posted September 29, 2010 Sweet! I wish lego would make ones like these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bricked one Posted September 29, 2010 These are really nice, however i would make the back portion a little higher on 7208 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hey75 Posted September 30, 2010 You fire truck look nicer than those found in city set. Great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted September 30, 2010 Great mods you did there ImLost! Your fire trucks are much much better than the official ones. Your mods effectively made the fire trucks more realistic, look aesthetically better, and have more added functional elements. Very good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firebrickbuilder Posted September 10, 2014 Very nice moc of the pump and even better ladder. Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgarison Posted September 11, 2014 These are much nicer than the models that Lego produces for their sets. That Squad is a really nice build. The ladder truck is well designed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CityBuilder Posted September 11, 2014 Nice fire squad, they seem to have lots of functions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWO2SEVEN Posted September 11, 2014 I love the details, especially the tools and outriggers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CPDano Posted October 23, 2014 I like that you created space in the cab for more figures. A whole fire squad usually consists of at least 5 members , so getting more figures into the truck adds to the realness of the truck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
