Let me check my junk parts box. Those are two hand holes or five hand holes, don't have my glasses on, but I think I have both in my parts box.

The Super Pumper System is on page 7 of this topic with the domes off, and have now been listed 3 times, twice by me so will still only count as 5 units in the total. As we quit counting once they reach 50 and just keep adding after that, it really makes no difference how many times they are posted to me, they are still one of my all time favorites, along with the Mack/Baker Aerialscpes.

I don't remember if Code 3 did the Chicago house or not. I know they did LACO 127 used as 51 house from Emergency, and a couple from FDNY, but I left the collector's club shortly after the fire house and fire boat releases hit the market.

The LaFrance you posted is the 1/24th scale version? did some spring cleaning last year and tossed out a bunch of mail order catalogs from National Motor Mint and they had them listed in their catalogs, but I don't remember who put them out. As NMMM sells lots of Yat Ming Signature models, I'd think that would be the safe bet.

Code 3 made the station and when I have found them they have been more than double what they were orriginally.

I was looking at a few last night and the prices are already going up on even the less popular models. It's a shame really. I may have to make a mold of the Crown cabs for future customs.

Yep, sho is. I burnt $50 plus bucks on the Chicago Mack I ripped for parts... All in good fun lol. To get just the wheels, I'd have to get 2 trucks...big money. The only other one I want is Orlando E-5 Sutphen in their millennium black over red colors. $90.

Shame they are going. They never did do a proper brush truck. I still wish they got around to doing a KME Ridgerunner. Such a neat apparatus. I'm gonna miss them a lot.
