trying to get back to the OTW setup
here's the new Havana fire station, converted from two Tyco truck terminals and a soon to be "working" air raid siren 
just me Ray... and just because I have Tyco doesn't mean I am not a model railroader

Ben,
Model Power, I think....I could be wrong on that.....
I have one too! by TYCO if I'm not mistaken! (I'd have to make sure mine isn't the "other" manufacturer)

I'd like to buy two of the truck terminals. One for the layout and the other to make a separate display with different trucks around it, painting the building several times to match the trailers at the time. I could buy a few of Tyco's piggyback trailers to place by the building...

That brings back some freaky cold war memories!
I saw one of those restored on American restorations for the Nevada State Railroad Museum, IIRC.

Here in the Midwest, we still use those for tornados. They're tested every Tuesday at 10 am. I always figured that if I were a tornado I'd strike at 10 am.
