This old-fashioned fire truck was built in July, 2004 for the display that my LEGO club, Bay Area LEGO Users’ Group & Train Club put on at a museum in Pleasanton, CA. Since the 4th of July was during that exhibit, we added a parade to the layout, and what’s a parade without an old-fashioned fire truck? So I built one.
More pictures of the model can be found on Flickr and on Brickshelf.
Adorable! I like the front especially. Blogged. :-)
This is exactly what I have been looking for for my grandsons. I imagine it didn’t originally come as a “kit” but created from a random bunch of legos. Love this design and don’t love the modern versions!
Yup it was an original design. However the Fire Brigade set (note, ages 16+ so may not be suitable for your grandsons) has a similar old fashioned truck in it.
