Posted February 15, 201015 yr 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.

February 15, 201015 yr 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! !
February 15, 201015 yr 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!

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).
September 29, 201014 yr Hi Realy like your fire engines. 2 of the best European moc's I have seen. How did you do it?
September 29, 201014 yr These are really nice, however i would make the back portion a little higher on 7208
September 30, 201014 yr 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!
April 8, 201113 yr Hi Do you have instructions for these as I would like to build these for my own station
September 11, 201410 yr 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.
October 23, 201410 yr 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
