Ol' School
A few weeks ago I had taken my boom idler car out of the box to takes some pictures of it. In the box was a brass "tool box" from Precision Scale Co. that I had put in there when I had built the car, as a detail piece to add later on. Now seemed like a good time!
So I thought I'd detail the piece here.
I did a 'puter search, didn't get much. Does anybody know about fire fighting tool storage?
A long rectangular wooden box to keep fire fighting tools in. Is it called a fire box? Did they even have such a thing back then? I don't even know that! I would think they would have.
This car is going to have one....
Colored a relatively bright red, a white "FIRE" painted on the lid? Going for a 1950ish time period!
Here is a couple of positions of the box on the boom car.
Mounted on the inside here, positioned between the sling hooks to avoid interference when opening the lid.
Or, on the end of the car! Better accessibility than on the inside of the car, but it's blocking the walk way.
Any other position for it?
Well, I'll have to contemplate positioning while I'm coming up with an appropriate red color.
