Greetings all, well I have been in the process of disassembly the fire engine over the past few months as time allows starting with the water pump and its associated pieces. Some parts will be painted red, some I would like to be bright nickel finish and some will be polished brass. The only...

Yes, I used my I-phone 8 for the recording. So sorry that some of you are having trouble viewing the video. I will certainly look into correcting the situation.

The cross head bodies are bronze with oilers. I mounted them on aluminum pedestals to get my desired height. It is hard to tell because of the gloss black paint. I love you story about your air compressor.

Question: the hose that the firemen used to fight the fire, how was it transported ??

Sir John, you are very kind with your words. When I read your post I got chills running up and down my back. Being able to share the talents my Lord has blessed me with is what my model making is all about. Then to help bring back fond and very special memories for someone through my creativity...

Greetings, been working on the discharge valves from the pump. Started out with a .750” diameter brass ball for the valve body. Drilled a .375” diameter hole through the ball and soldered a piece of 3/8” diameter brass bar in place. Then machined the assembly as if it were a casting. One end has...
