I have a Fire train consisting of over 40 cars. Being a firefighter I started purchasing MTH engines and then proceeded to purchase one of every fire car I could find. Absolutely stunning going around the layout. I did leave off a couple Lionel cars due to their postwar look.

Hmmm Looks like I have to go upstairs. I don't mind the picture part it is the fact I have to pull it off the SHELVES (it takes up more than one) and then put it on the track and run it for you. My real problem though is I have to video it on my phone then attach the phone to the computer to upload the video then post it. No offense but that takes the real joy of running it away from me as it requires time. BUT, on the other hand I realize I am prohibiting my friends here from seeing and enjoying it also. SOOOOOOO I will try to get it done today or this weekend for those requesting to see it. Heck I don't want to get on the black list for just reading and sometimes writing a response and not actually posting pictures and video's. LOL Curtis
Another drawback is you will see a layout that is nowhere near completed and basically a mess scenery wise. (Blame my conductor as she does ALL scenery)

Even if you just take a photo or two of them on the shelf we will get to see what they look like. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a firefighting model train before. |

"Oh, the horror!"  But seriously, though, it sounds like an interesting consist, and well worth your effort to show it to us! [Easy for us to say, huh?  ]

Okay here we go, let us try this link. youtu.be/R0LwAIAmKBYThere are TWO, I repeat 2, cars as above in the original post in the train. One is BNSF but hey don't fault me. The fire fighter in me wanted all them. TWO Lionel box cars (smaller) have a picture of our 2 newest fire department trucks (the tender and the 2010 engine. They look the same.) They also have my name and info on the side. This is what I purchased for my boss (our chief) with his info and he got BIT BIG TIME BY TRAINS!!!) Any problems go to a reflective device and stare into it and yell all you want. lol Curtis |

First it took three hours to get it off the shelves, run it around twice, and put it back on the shelves. Second I don't edit! I shoot with the phone and hope it meets what people want or wanted. If not, Oh Well!
Why this attitude? Because my time stretcher that I ordered in 1968 has not arrived yet. I believe it and TrainDiesel's trains that were shipped UPS from York last year are together SOMEWHERE!
