Models on my real estate listing

I always said I was going to post pictures of my collection in my home office. Well, I'm selling my home, and the real estate agent really liked my trucks. The pictures ended up on the listing. About 15 of them had to be moved from the desk area, they are FR trucks that were stacked on the desk top.

Fire Replicas Suthphen Tower decals

Each time I look at growing my FR collection, I am amazed by the new detail I discover. Since I've retired, and have far too much time on my hands, I've taken a decal count of this model.

FR Chicago Seagrave Snorkel. Scale question

I just received this model, and it is an excellent addition to my growing FR collection.
In comparing this to my other FR models, the Snorkel cab looks smaller in scale. Were these 1:1 trucks that much smaller than trucks of the day?
Thanks, enjoy the summer, and stay hydrated.

Yes, the Striker will be a "must have" for me. It will be a great addition to my O'Hare squad set and TWH Strikers.

Re: What is your favorite fire rig in your collection?

Tough question, I have many favorites. I'll still have to say it's my Code 3 Diamond Plate Skywalker Pierce. The detail is amazing. All cabinet doors open with intricate detail inside. The radio even has the coiled wire to the handset. A close second will be my Fire Replicas Chicago Tower 37, or may...
