Engine 2

[jansued]

Hi!

I really like the new Lego Fire Station from 1932 - but the fire truck is a joke. Thats why I build another one - maybe not technical accurate (Lafrance oder Seagrave), but playable and nice to fit in the the new Station....

1959 - Engine 2, B-Shift. Just a small rubbish fire, just good enough for the Rookie.

More here...

As soon as I got 10197, more will follow..

Very impressive engine! Great detail inside and out,and looks like the real thing. I really like how you captured the front end. Very well done!

[Bartram]

I'm a huge Lego Fire Dept. fan myself, so that's a great truck. Pretty good accuracy, and I like the smoothness on the front end.

[Ratshot]

That looks wayyyyyy better than the one that comes with the actual fire station.

Good job

Nice truck. I would have looked at more pictures, but your link appears to not be working. Anyway, from what I see it does have the look of a 'sixties American pumper. I like the SNOT work on the front and the various bits of kit visible in the back.

I wouldn't call the truck that comes with the set a 'joke'. Perhaps it suffers a bit from the constraint of having to fit inside the fire station, but I quite like it and it looks convincingly like a 'thirties pumper to me. I like the scale too.

Cheers,

Ralph

who care about it "historical accuracy" , this is a fantastic moc ,I love it, great job !

These are the other fotos.

Ok, the 10197 MniPumper is not a "joke", but there is the potential to make it more accurate. Could be a nice contest:

"From Steam to Tiller Trucks - build a historic fire engine..."

Let's see if I've eniugh parts for a tiller truck or a rescue. Maybe to revive the "Emergency" TV-Series...

Can i ask were you got the ladder from? Never seen one like it in LEGO before. I really like how you used technic hose T's to secure the ladder too.

I also like your contest idea as well. But I'd prefer to have just a "build an Emergency vehicle" contest instead of a classic. But either way, great suggestion.

The ladder comes from an old set - I guess this is 25 Years ago...

Suggestion:

1. Build a historic emergency vehicle (from Steam to the late 60's)

2. Build a modern or futuristic emergency vehicle

3. Build a 32x32 emergency scene.

I'll sponsor a fire helmet as first price....

I think set 672 fire engine had a ladder like that.

Yep, you are right. My first active LEGO Phase.

BTW: As I said I could sponser this helmet (new) for a contest:

What do the mods think?

[5150 Lego]

I'd enter one of the contest. PM a Mod to get this going. My voteis for modern/furtristc cause thats my preferred buildind style and i work with moderen emergency vehicles in my daily job.
