N Scale Fire Truck Engine American Lafrance & Rescue Boat 3d printed unpainted

Description: The boys in the Lastdue Shops have taken a giant leap and have started designing and printing 3-D N scale vehicles. We've noticed that there is a real lack of affordable US made fire apparatus on N scale layouts, that is until now. What fire truck is more American than American Lafrance. In 1947 American Lafrance launched their 700 Series, a ground breaking cab forward design that set the standard that continues to this day in the design of custom built fire engines. This design was used for pumpers ladders and rescues. The boys in the Lastdue 3-d design shop have replicated several of the trucks in this series. The 700 Series was made from 1947 until almost 1960. The trucks could be seen in service well into the 1980s and many are still in fire houses as parade pieces. This model is a rescue. It's equipped with gear for water rescues. While these trucks came with open and closed tops the open top is IMHO the more classic look. The shops have redesigned the rescue boat and trailer. It's now set up for just about any kind of water emergency. The boat has a center console and various parts for the modeler to set it up different ways. It can serve as a fire or police boat. The top now has a radar and life raft. The boat and trailer scales out to about 13 scale feet so if you layout has low bridges be careful. I would consider this boat a semi water line model which would make the boat at home displayed on the trailer or in the water. Some flash removal and painting required. These were built to fill the gaps on the sellers own N Scale layout. Comments and questions always welcome. I gladly combine shipping on N Scale models. Buy multiples items and get them all shipped for the same price. Be sure to check out my other auctions. I have fire, military, police, circus and misc trucks for sale.
