The favorite in my collection is a 1930's Hubley Cast Iron 12" Ahrens-Fox. It's the largest of the 6 Fox's that Hubley made and the only one with a separate driver, ladders and hose reel. It took me about 20 years to get one that was complete with no broken front bumper or pump siamese, both often broken. Original rubber tires. Hope to post an image of it shortly.
Great, I am really looking forward to the picture!

Hi Troy,

Love those too.

You need to come out here and see them in person :) https://www.lacountyfiremuseum.com/

CoolFireTrucks: I don't have a photo hosting site anymore, so I'm not sure I can post a picture on here.

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 maybe the FDNY TSU 1, or.....
Not enough space to list them all

Are you able to search the internet? You ask everyone to post pictures of trucks, you can easily search the internet to find them.

Code 3 Skywalker as example that search will show you several images

Fire Replicas models, simply search the Firereplicas.com page to see several pictures.
