For Fire Engine and Emergency Vehicle Friday we have this nice paper fire station from B.J. George. This model was designed using my photos of the Built-Rite No.56-5 Fire Station and is about half the size of the original. You'll notice as you look through the photos that I'm not the world's greatest modeler and rushing through these projects didn't help much either, but I've been wanting to post these for years now and just haven't gotten around to it so when I did start it was a rush to get things finished. At the last moment I decided to put a floor in this structure and open up the doors so that fire engines could go inside, but it also needs a ramp for the trucks to drive up onto. That'll be a project for another day - or year :-) Hope you - Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
You can see the cardboard floor attached to the inside of the building
The portion of the upper roof that juts down to meet the flat roof must be trimmed to fit
Here it's shown with a Kellogg's Corn Flakes Fire Engine premium from 1957
