Fire trucks and trains, oh my!

Just in, 
The World of  LGB,
     the 1990 edition of the "Lehmann-Gross-Bahn" catalog,
195  photo pages of model railroad stuff:  locomotives, cars, tracks, little people and even circus animals to go with the circus stock car! ( Look for it in the hobby section, for $6.)

The Gatefold Book of Fire Engines,
     36 fire engines, from the Prospect/Ford of 1920 to the AEC Merryweather 1967, all displayed on four page fold-outs.  Each section includes photos of  and specifications for each fire engine:  its length, height, engine cylinders, transmission gears, tank volume and pump capacity....  (Look for it in the transportation section, for $4.)

Enjoy!
