A collection of mostly scratchbuilt fire trucks displayed at a local museum

[Brian Austin]

These lovely 1:24 or 1:25 scale fire trucks are part of the collection of a small fire-fighting museum in Brockton, Massachusetts.  My notes credit Dave Frazer as their builder.

There are also a few examples of horse-drawn apparatus among the collection that I believe were built or modified from a particular range of mixed-media "craftsman kits" produced here in Mass. in the late '40s / early '50s era.

 

Two pages worth of pictures of the models in my album:

 

 

I wish their website was more informative:

That's a serious level of old scratchbuilding!
