I know its a small picture but I believe this is the Supertrain on the lower left. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It's the yellow one on the right. L-73.

WHY?

I know its a small picture but I believe this is the Supertrain on the lower left. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Started the trailer modifications. VERY difficult disassembly, and I still haven't figured out how to detach the ladder and turntable.

Once I stripped it down to the base plate, I used a Dremel to grind it back about 1/16" on each side so that the new side panels for the compartments will be flush with the existing fenders.

Next, I measured for the length of the high side compartments, leaving a space behind the front fender, which is where the rear hydraulic outriggers wold retract into, did some arithmetic, and marked out the panels. I used .02 ABS sheet for a base layer, and .01 ABS on top of that for the panel doors. Then I ran a strip of DP between the uppers and lowers. Each compartment was a separate unit on the actual truck, so I scribed a deep line between each section. Later, after it's painted, I will use a black wash to highlight the low spots.

Thanks. It will be Ladder 73.

My sentiments exactly!
Sir, these are amazing shots that you normally don't see. I love how you captured the raw emotions of not only the firemen, but the civilians as well.
Then there's the 3/4 boots, long coats, fire ball gloves and true leather helmets...now that's history in a picture.
Again, great shots and please keep sharing them.

Los Angeles CITY FD
Rescue Ambulance 51
2014 Dodge 4500/Northstar Emergency Vehicles
Rescue 51 is dedicated to Los Angeles International Airport, and is the only lime ambulance in the fleet. It is identical to all LA City FD red front line ambulances with the exception of the color. It's associated engine company, a Seagrave, is also lime.
Perhaps one of my favorite ambulances out there, as well as one of my most favorite photos I've taken. On a wierd side note, I had no recollection whatsoever of where and when I took this photo, and it was quite a surprise when I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago!
Photos by me a couple of months ago. And if you're interested in California apparatus, be sure to check out EMTBravoWest.com

New Rochelle High School, May 1968

And there it is folks, proof positive of just how good the Liberal Democrat tax and spend agenda works. Fitting that the city that put our sleazeball governor in office should now reap the "benefit' of becoming the most overtaxed city in America
