Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Brush Fire Convoy - By Chester Fesmire


These are a few old retired military trucks turned into a brush fire group. The lineup picture has a Roco AM General M-925 5 ton cargo truck converted to a tanker with an Imex tank and photo etched parts from Hauler in front. In the middle is Roco Reo M-62 crane on 5 ton chassis both of these have Busch emergency lights. Bringing up the rear is a Roco GMC 2 1/2 ton closed cab cargo truck with again some Hauler photo etched details and a Herpa light bar. The pumper trailer is also a Roco. All are painted with automotive lacquer and Alclad II polished aluminum. According to Chester, old soldiers never die, they become voluteer firemen!
