I like it Holodoc, I personally like to have these smaller trucks rather then big huge rigs because I can fit 2 in each bay and thus have like 4+ per station lol. Im actually going to make a truck or two like this but for my police force for use in riot control so ill have to make it in black and white colors rather then red. That water cannon on top would be perfect for suppressing a little illegal gathering dont you say? Oh and Jedi, I dont think thats true. Republic Airport in Farmingdale, NY in addition to the Puerto Rico Airports Authority Fire Department both have red vehicles and I think the MacArthur/Islip Airport Fire Department does as well. I also think the PANYNJ Police firetrucks at Newark, JFK and LaGuardia airports are white (the Port Authority Police handle firefighting at those airports rather then a seperate airport fire department and all of their 2,200 officers are trained in both firefighting and law enforcement - hence the reason so many PANYNJ cops were killed on 9/11 because they were being used as firefighters).

I LOVE it Casewindu, looks like a typical fire station here in the US although in my area (on Long Island in the NYC suburbs) some of the firehouses are massively huge with some having like 10 bays each. That candy machine is nothing ... some of the firehouses here have their own bars, catering halls, ice cream machines, etc. I love the layout and the features and the little gate. I have an interesting story related to that lol, my uncle was a NYC firefighter for like 20 years and when he 1st came on in the late 70s, early 80s he was assigned to the South Bronx (during a period of mass violence and arson known as the "Crack Warz" between drug gangs and such) and so everytime they went on a call they would have to leave half the companies (NYC firehouses have 1 engine company and 1 ladder company per station and ambulances were a separate city agency until 1995) behind to "defend" the firehouse from being looted and they would have to club people as they tried to sneak in under the closing bay doors. Crazy stuff lol. My only complaints are that I dont like the silver helmets, I would rather the traditional White normally issued in the past by Lego or the real life black helmets. Here in the US usually only officers wear white helmets and everyone else has black helmets and of course that the new "City" line vehicles dont have doors!

Thanks; btw where can I find these modern weapons you speak of? I assume you mean like M-16's, Heckler and Koch's, Colt .45's etc?

I decided to register just for this topic. Im 19 and I still have all my Legos from when I was a kid, I would spend hours building pirate ships vs Royal Navy or US Army vs bandits/Indians/Mexicans (using customized Imperial troops from the pirate line). I made a huge customized HMS Victoria using parts from the Red Beard Runner (I think thats what it was called. I do like the idea of an American Revolution theme but I dont think it would be to popular outside the US, especially in Britain. American Civil War would totally not sell at all anywhere in the US due to the fact nobody would buy Confederate sets because of the slavery issue and the conflict is not really touched upon in our school systems anymore. War of 1812 is to to similar to the Imperial Guards sets in the Pirate line. Personally I think they should expand the Pirate line and the Adventures line as both of those could be customized into other conflicts for those of us that want military themes. Adventures would fit in perfectly in some of the late 1800s colonial conflicts, WW1 in Africa and the Middle East and the whole Pancho Villa/Mexican bandits and Gen. Pershing's raid into Mexico, Spanish American War, etc and could even be used for the very early parts of WW2.
