Busch NEW HO 1/87 Scale American La France Turntable Ladder Fire Truck Engine #3
An excellent representation of a classic fire engine.
It's not really "durable", nor would I call it "entertaining", but this (in both open and closed cab versions) is an excellent model of the 1970-1974 1000 series American Lafrance tractor trailer (tillered) ladder truck. It c...an also be a suitable representation of the late 900 series of the same time period (although few if any 900 series were equipped with the flop down hydraulic outriggers found on the model). There are few external differences, and in 1/87 scale are hardly noticeable. For those who not well versed on fire apparatus, think of it like a car. You have the base model (the 900 series introduced in 1958) and the fully loaded version which includes all the popular features (the 1000 series introduced in 1970). Since fire apparatus have fairly long service lives, from 10 to 15 years in major cities to as long as 25 or even 30 years or more in small cities and towns, this model could be appropriate on model railroads set anywhere from the late 60's to 2005 or a little later (a few are STILL in service).
NOTE: The companion engine (pumper) could be used as a 1970-1974 1000 series model or as a 1958-1974 900 series and would be suitable on model railroads set from 1958 on. Again, a few are STILL in service. Read full review

Student Brazilwood Viola Bow
Good quality for a good price
My granddaughter was in need of a new bow and this one has worked out perfectly. It allows for a great sound, not scratchy as some bows cause.

The Durbin Route
Excellent book covering the C & O Greenbrier Division from end to end. Numerous photos and diagrams. My model railroad club used some of the photos and diagrams to build what many visitors have told us is the most ac...curate and realistic model of the Cass, WV area they have ever
seen. This book is a must for any C & O or logging railroad history buff.Read full review

GHQ ROAD MASTER SERIES N GAUGE "American LaFrance 1000 Pumper" FIRE ENGINE NEW!
Excellent detail, recommend highly!
Very detailed model for such a small scale. I would recommend this for anyone with an N scale model railroad set in the years from 1958 on, in big cities up to 1984 or so, in smaller cities until 1990 give or take and in smal...l towns or rural departments there are still a few in service today. By the way, although this is marked as a 1000 series (produced from 1970 to 1974), it can also be used as a 900 series (produced from 1958 to 1974. The only significant external differences are in the trim packages. There are plenty of photos on line or in books to show the modeler the differences.Read full review
