It's A Small World After All: Kellogg's Fire Dept. (K.F.D.) - Fire House From Engine House Project - Pt 6 Final: Adding Details

This is the final installment for both the Kellogg's Fire House from Engine House project as well as our look at small fire engines. I'll have a couple more posts concerning small vehicles in general and that will wrap up the series on small vehicles in general. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

This final post shows some of the extra details I added to the roof as well as the placement of the HVAC unit in a different spot on the roof.



Arrrgh, after assembling the walls, one of the corners split 😤


The two types of brick walls is actually a common feature on buildings in urban areas. Nice, cleanly dressed walls face the public side, scruffy looking walls face the alleys or buildings situated right next to the station. The rougher textured bricks would have been cheaper and thus would have been a cost-cutting factor in the construction.







Scrap railing and ladder material and a horn from an O-gauge diesel engine provide detail on top of the hose drying tower roof


A hatch, a vent and the HVAC complete the detailing






I didn't want a five-bay fire house. The arrangement of the vehicles within a four-bay house as well as allowing room for the alarm center and a small office means I ended up with a 7 3/16" square building.
