if only...
But, I fully agree with Hoppah's refusal to allow reskins. I'd do the same thing if I spent that much time and effort one a mod
I'll post some pics of my personnel changes later on, bad weather right now..
[edit] Ok, I've decided to throw the pics up of the new USAR... I'm gonna try to change it so the helmet isn't in the model... that really throws it off
Sorry they're hard to see

A few pointers...
Buffalo PD only uses Crown Vics, nothing else. However, Buffalo NFTA (Transit Police) use all Chargers now. Erie Co Sheriffs would have the transport van and the SUV. BPD SWAT would have the smaller of the black vans, but not the other two.
As for BFD, I'm not a large enough wacker to follow apparatus exactly. Just the basic Engine 1 and Engine 2 and Aerial would do. BFD doesn't use tillers. Rescue 1... It's build correctly, but I'm not 100% at the paint job, as I haven't looked at Rescue 1 in awhile. However, the LAFS engine could be Rescue 2... Yes, it still exists as a reserve rescue. BFD also has a fireboat.. But I don't think a reskin would be necessary. haha
As for Rural Metro.... IT's too nice. Add some dents and rust.

If you need photos of Rural Metro uniform, I can either take photos, or give you their website.
The Red Cross vehicle could also be reskinned to be the Erie Co SMART truck.. It's an ER DR that is on call 24/7 for emergencies outside the ER.
PM me if you want more info or have any questions. Maybe it's time we talked more about that issue from before..

As for Rural Metro.... IT's too nice. Add some dents and rust.lol But seriously, that looks PHENOMINAL, just like our new rigs. I'd recommend changing the numer... For any of the mod-style, you want a 500-series. (Ex: 593, 597, 547, etc) For a van, you could use a lower 500 (512,514, 516) or an old 250 number (250, 251, 252)

Unfortunately, Buffalo Fire had phased out all of their tillers.... They've got mainly 110' American Lafrance/LTI Rear-Mount Towers. They've still got some older trucks, Ladders 4, 10, 13, 15 have 'older' trucks. Ladder 4's isn't overly old, but its a stright-stick. No bucket.. Ladder 10's got an older straight-stick, as does Ladder 13. Ladder 15's got an older tower, used to be Ladder 7.BFD does use tillers...ive seen one in action about 8 years ago
lol, it may be out of service now though
Ladders 2, 5, 6 and 7 are all American LaFrance, 2 and 6 are rear-mount towers, 5 is a rear-mount straight-stick, and 7's a mid-mount tower (kinda like Fort Erie Ladder 1).
As for Engines, they're almost unanimously American Lafrance Eagle Pumpers. Engines 1, 2, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 31, 34 and 35 are all the new Eagle. Engine 4 is an old pierce still in the retro all red paint scheme. Engines 3, 22, and 32 are older Pierces, in the White over Red scheme. Engine 20 is the oldest ACTIVE fire apparatus in the world, the Fire Boat Edward M. Cotter. Engine 36 is also an Eagle pumper, forgot to mention that ;p
Rescue 1 is a 2006 American Lafrance Eagle Heavy Rescue. It is hands down my favourite truck. It cost the Buffalo FD something like $6 million once they had all the equipment, etc... HazMat 1 is a Pierce. Don't know the year/model.
The Batttalion Chiefs (B4-3, B4-4, B4-6 and B4-7) and Division Cheif (B5-6) Drive new Suburbans. The EMS Lieutenant (F20) drives a new Tahoe. There are also several specialized trucks, like the Fire Marshals (F11), Air Trucks (F7, F8, and F9) and so on ;p
But, I believe the last Tiller to be replaced was Ladder 5, quartered at Seneca and Swan with Engine 32. There's actually a video of Ladder 5 Tiller Training (shot from the tiller) on wowmephotos.com . Go into the Fire Videos section, and you'll find it.
Hope this helps

If you read the Time from today, it says we're getting a new Police and EMS LHQ at Gilmore and Thompson. They're trying to get Station 2 into the same building as Police, with common Conferance and Training rooms, everything else would be seperatenew station??

But, I've got some VERY special surprises for y'all

Here are some more reskins

First of all: Rural/Metro EMT:

Rural/Metro Ambulances:

Buffalo Fire F11 (Fire Marshal):

LAPD K9:
I've added "K9" to the officers back, making him more visible on scene, as well as adding K9 to the roof of the Dog Car to do the same:
ENJOY
