Here is what I am working with.

While looking at the parts for the Life-Like firehouse I noticed that the kit builds a building that is not deep enough to "stack" two fire engines inside. In order to fit my two-piece engine company in one bay, wagon in front of pumper, I would have to expand the building. Because the brick detail on the Life-Like walls is so big, I could not use DPM parts because the difference was so noticeable. I went and bought 2 Life-Like police stations for parts, not realizing that it shares many of the same walls as the firehouse.

And here we have a '68 Ford Pumper and a '72 American Lafrance Hose Wagon that will comprise the Engine Co. I have not yet chosen and purchased a Hook and Ladder Truck but am leaning toward getting an American Lafrance tractor-drawn aerial from I think Boley.
