  Cmk420, they are getting rid of their Seagrave’s, and switching to Pierce. They replaced the engine running out of station 3 last year, with one identical to the above one. It’s sad they are getting rid of the Seagraves. I grew up in that town, so Seagrave was a familiar sight for me.

  I agree Crabby, this looks really good with that color scheme.

  Unless something has changed, Engine 101 is only used it they have extra staffing at that station. They staff Truck 101 as the only manned company, on a daily basis, at that station.

  St Charles was using a Seagrave Marauder II. Surprised they didn’t put the new engine in place at 101 which has an older engine.

  Did St. Charles get rid of any engines? Or transition any engines into reserve? They just got the new E103 and now E102 has a new rig.

  I always liked the DASH CF even though many people don’t like it being that it’s not old school since it’s a PUC.
  Here’s another example of a good color combo.
