Diesel Detail Freak
Uh, that would be a locomotive, specifically the Tom Thumb, not a fire engine...
Now what I'm really confused about is when I google "1880's steam fire engine", the first thing that shows up is photos of the one Josh made out of Legos. Obviously, he knows what one is, and what they look like. Did I miss something in the discussion, or go to the wrong link or what?
Meh its more me! I should have added the link with it saying, "hows this page for info on the Tom Thumb"It's probably me that's mashing things up. What I'm looking for Bob, is either the OOP Jordan Model of the horse drawn-bat-winged pumper. I've scoured every Highway miniatures(Jordan) link I can find and nothing for them shows.
The other thing I'm looking for is a good starting point for the early B & O RR steam engine named " Arabian ". I can find almost nothing on the net and have only one poor quality picture of it to work from. Josh posted the link of the Tom Thumb and in comparison it is somewhat similar in appearance.
Gosh I hope I didn't muddle it up any further. Sorry about that.

Oh and Bob, I didn't realized that goggles to the #1 spot, no wonder I get lots of emails! For those of you who have not yet googled it:

While you're there, check out the other fire engines & the trains, there's allot to see, and it'll clue you into why I'm a detail freak now with the HO trains.
Also (not to steal the thread...) but I was working on a Hose cart & ladder cart at one time, I have yet to see the parts of them (which leads me to believe they're in a box in my sisters garage in AZ).
