Thanks for the kind comments, Red and Psyche.  The latest custom is slow in coming on so I plan to post some pics (hopefully this week) of the "twisty" firefighters mbl made for me and then some of my customised 3781 turntable ladder.  This will give me the time, weather permitting, to get on with the ongoing custom based on the 3614 van.

In the single digits on the Farenheit scale
that is around negative single digits on the Celcius scale.

Not too bad here with a bit of sun and very cold hard rain today, but -2C tonight.

Hello, Gordon ...

This is the first custom that I have had the pleasure to see from you! WOW! ... :wow: ... :wow: ...  :wow: ...

Even with your incredibly detailed explanations, I don't think that everyone realizes the amount of time, skill, thought and creativity you put into this vehicle. May I suggest that you take some photos of the actual "work in progress" for your next project? I think that actually seeing what's involved in in a conversion of this magnitude will blow everyone's socks off.

Well done, Gordon!

Did I say how impressed I am? ... ;)

All the best,
Richard

Thank you Richard for your comments  :-[.   I had intended to do photos showing work in progress, but having done one I had a period when I was able to get on really quickly and fogot to do any more! However, with my latest project I've been a bit more organised thoughnot much.  :)

Just come over here from your latest post -- I actually really, really like the stand hydrant; I need this one too, because here in Germany you can see these quite often (or at least I see them in cases the fire brigade gives some presentations/demonstrations or have some missions and needs water). Is this a customized piece or is this available in a set? (if the later one, from which set is it, else from which parts have you made it, so I can try to reproduce one too.)

Hi Jo,  it comes from one of the garden sets, in this particular case the Garden Superset.  The part number is 30 24 1600.

Thank you Gordon. This will be for sure on my next DS order list.

I'm just curious: do you remember which SuperSet this was? I was looking around a little bit, searching for this item, but didn't found it.

It was 3134, Jo. The same hydrant appears in the allotment gardening set.
