Great shots of Rescue 4 Chris! Thanks for sharing. That has got to be a "Collectible" shot of Rescue 1 in front of the old quarters. As always, thanks!

-Joe DA BUFF

Rescue 5 at least! Thanks Chris! She is a beauty!

-Joe DA BUFF, who saw her in one of his books on Rescues!

Again, NICE SHOTS Chris! Thanks for sharing, especially the tillers and the Dodge Van Rescue! That ALF rehab, there's gotta be a story behind that, no? That snorkel is pretty sweet too. Thanks for sharing!

-Joe DA BUFF, who is watching Protection from the Past and LOVIN' EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Engine 4 in Lime? WHOA..... Can you see that thing careening up South Street or down Wall Street? Bet that turned some heads! Thanks for sharing Chris!

-Joe DA BUFF

Wa-Wa-Wee-Wa! Nice SHOTS ALL AROUND, especially the Quad and the Hahns! Thanks for sharing!

-Joe DA BUFF

Nice photos! Thanks for sharing, the Red and Black look good, especially on Car 1!

-Joe DA BUFF

That rig has a near twin in Elizabeth (but available to all of Union County), a rig carrying 12 inch hose and another thousand odd gallons of Foam! I guess the Ports justify these rigs! THanks for sharing the photos!

-Joe DA BUFF

God Bless Firefighter Payne, thank you for your service and sacrifice, and May God Hold You in the Palm of His Hand.

Studying!

Now there's something you don't see everyday... Fire Chief's Car becomes a Police Car! Usually it's the other way around.

I didn't even realize Village of Brewster had a P.D..... Is it new or something?

-Joe DA BUFF, who remembers reading about how Mineola almost established a P.D. in '05!

One of these days this would happen. There are more important things than property development and building McMansions for reach cheese-eaters. I wonder what happens in communities without Tankers. Ah well.

Sorry to update this topic after so long, but there are some new rigs on my site! Check 'em out here:

The West Side of the Hudson Marching, as it were!

Enjoy!

Nice photos all around! Thanks for sharing.

-Joe DA BUFF, who will have some "vacation" shots himself fairly soon!

Once more.... (because I have miles to drive to get there and ideally will be meeting someone), it will be 1900? Oh and is the route still along 133? Thanks!

-Joe DA BUFF, who appreciates everyone answering his repeated inquires!

Nice photos all around! Thanks for sharing, there were some rigs I had never seen before, like Pawling or 11-4-2! Nice rig!!!! Thanks again!

-Joe DA BUFF

God Bless and May God Hold Stephen Dembski in the Palm of His Hand. Take Care and Stay Safe and My Sincerest Condolences.

Nice photos all around! Nice to see Armonk's Maxim, among others! Mamaroneck never seems to miss a performance, eh? Great shot of Tanker 6 also! Thanks for sharing!

-Joe DA BUFF

The site: www.fireservicephotography.com and firenews.org have some good photos from the expo. Hope this helps!

-Joe DA BUFF

One word for that rig: IMPRESSIVE.

I hope she shines on in your collection for years to come! Absolutely outstanding and beautiful!

-Joe DA BUFF

From one Joe to another, Happy Belated Birthday!

As I said on my away message, David Chase obviously didn't see the original ending to Star Trek:Generations. That in and of itself is a story. But I won't tell it here. Too bad about the ending. Oh well.

-Joe DA BUFF

Ugh. Another FDNY release. What a surprise. :angry:

The good news for collectors is that soon ALL Code 3's will be highly collectible. This product line will most likely be disappearing in the near future because of what I percieve to be widespread declining interest by collectors in Code 3's monotonous line up (FDNY) and their failure to deliver on some other lines.

Sorry, but I don't believe that there are enough FDNY fanatics to keep things going. If Code 3 doesn't freshen it up

or at least deliver on some previously promised models (900 TDA's), they are doomed, and deservedly so. JMO.

That's exactly what a Die-Cast dealer said to me the other day. About Code 3 getting stale. Shame, soon there'll be no top quality 1/64 diecast out there. I have to say, I won't be too worried about Code 3 going under. The rigs were crazily expensive, and to an extent you got your money's worth. But, they didn't branch out enough. Ah well. Just my two cents.

-Joe DA BUFF, who's happy with his collection, but, wouldn't have minded adding a Light Rescue and a Brush Truck. Ah well.

P.S. Stepjam- Well done with your CDF Kitbash. I woulda posted in the original topic, but it was closed. I was very impressed.

A Hemi-Powered Ambulance..... In the words of Borat, NIIIIIIIIIICE!
