I believe this goes in the "Trains and Town" forum. ;-) A mod/admin'll move it.

Nice firehouse, though. It's a firehouse with style! I mean, I don't think I've ever seen a "classic architecture" firehouse MOC. *sweet*

EDIT: Nice movie clip, too. I don't think I've ever seen that done, either. A whole new way to examine a MOC!

I call it, "Hands free critique". :-D

Nice work. Finally a fire station that isn't red as usual. *y*

PS: This is the right place for a MOC. This IS the Your Own Creations forum. :-P

A marvelous work, very neat and decent in size and proportions, with a nice color scheme too! *y*

And that video clip

That is a really good firehouse. The detail is awesome. Off topic: I wonder who made red the official fieman color?

[SirNadroj]

A unique and very original MOC! *y* I love different things! *wub*

I was thinking since it was a TOWN moc, maybe it should go there... 8-|

Maybe you should post this in the city contest thing that's going on.

EDIT: here it is.

I love the architecture of your fire house, especially the classical looking fountain and the statues *y* . The yellow was a great choice, it goes very well with the white.

That's the building I caught a glimpse of in that train station pic. I like this a lot! You have a unique style, a flair so to speak. It's nice to see things done in less traditional styles sometimes. Good work! *y*

Oh, and I believe the 'red' history of firehouses came from the mistaken belief that the colour red would be easily noticed when racing through town on the way to a fire. Later it was determined that a particularly annoying shade of neon green is more effective, but most haven't switched out of tradition (and it's really a horrible shade). Add the fact that a lot of firehouses were located in downtown areas in primarily brick structures, and the red just became overwhelming synonymous with them.
