kurtvd19 Posted December 23, 2020 Share #33 Posted December 23, 2020 It's going great. Nice work. The part in question is the pump panel - and the drivers side with the gauges etc. The Engineer controls the pump from this position. The other side has a connection or two for additional hose lines. There is nothing inside except the connections to the pump, the wiring for the panel lights, pressure lines to the gauges, etc. Also inside are the water pipe lines to the hose outlets on both sides of the vehicle and the pipe up to the hose reel that sits atop the box. The hose reel is for what we called a booster hose. I have never seen any color of these high pressure hoses except a muted dull red and black. The pressure on this line can be up to 1,000psi - depending on the pump mfg. Most city FDs around here don't use booster lines today but rural areas with field fires do use them. The engineer controls the pressure delivered to the hoses by engaging the pump before leaving the drivers position - if they intend to use high pressure on the booster line he engages the 3rd stage which delivers high pressure after the incoming water enters the 1st stage and the incoming pressure is increased there and then enters the 2nd stage where the pressure is increased further and then to the 3rd stage where it is increased yet again. If the fire is one where quantity is needed vs pressure only the first two stages are engaged. These pumps are centrifugal pumps and I have described how the pumps I have operated are operated. I never operated a pump after August of 1984 when I was injured on the job and when I came back they promoted me to Div. Chief so I might be a bit rusty on specific details. BTW, every fire pump I have ever seen is red. Doesn't matter if it's on a pumper or in a building. ALF purchased their pumps from a pump mfg. who make pumps for many uses. Fire pumps undergo extensive testing to get approval as a fire pump and then each pump is tested to strict protocol at the factory before shipping. Fire pumps cost a lot more than a pump with the identical components that isn't meant for fire service use. These other pumps cam be almost any color but red. I have been inside pump mfg factories and have seen green, blue, orange but never a red one outside the dedicated space they use for the fire pump assembly and testing areas. Most firefighters never see the inside of a pump mfg facility and my seeing the making and testing of fire pumps was because I was the Fire Prevention Division Chief and had to approve all fire pumps for the large buildings in town so their certification was something we had to take very seriously. popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway, Canute and 6 others 9 Quote Kurt Van Dahm Director NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD www.thenrg.org SAY NO TO PIRACY.

I know where you can buy the 1956 ALF pumper I first drove if you still want a big red collectable. When I am in my shop here at home I can see the house but not the back yard where it is parked. I see the front end every time I leave the house and go south and wonder why it isn't covered or in a garage. The guy who bought it was on the FD with my Dad and for a couple of years while I was on the local Dept before going full time with the adjoining town. He's gone now and either his son or daughter now live there and don't know what they have. Or did you mean a 1/25 scale ladder truck?

popeye the sailor Posted December 23, 2020 Share #35 Posted December 23, 2020 it was a model Kurt........the admiral would kill me if I drove something like that to the house! although a friend of mine would likely take it off my hands......he collects the full size trucks {he already has a pumper}. trivia....to drive a vehicle such as that on city streets, you would have to remove all the markings and likely the color too, so not to confuse it as an emergency vehicle. to keep it as it is, it could only be used in parades and fairs. my son bought a short based school bus for his business and he had to repaint it {the markings had already been removed}. he has five kids.......I told him to hand them a paint brush and go to town!

Thanks for all the info Kurt. Glad you said something about the color of the high pressure hose. The instructions called for it being yellow but I will change it to flat red (or flat black?) based on what you've taught me. The pump I will leave silver as it will be completely covered by the control panel anyway. Why is it the model manufacturers always seem to get the colors wrong on their instruction call-outs? Checking the fit as I go along.

kurtvd19 Posted December 27, 2020 Share #50 Posted December 27, 2020 Look for flat shoelaces. When the hose is packed into the hose bed it stands on edge. I don't know what size shoelace to tell you but today they all use 3" hose for supply/attack lines many times with a "WYE" that branches off to two smaller lines - 1 1/2 to 1/34" dia. that is easier to get into a building, up stairs and around corners.

It is available almost everywhere and is normally not all that expensive. https://www.paracordplanet.com/top-colors-550-paracord/?sku=100 XPAR-MRLDGRN-&gclid=CjwKCAiA25v_BRBNEiwAZb4-ZfbuGbKNO0eZBQbN_rhVYmqzoNPaz4gR1SQaRj1aKYUbGtBVDMyJ3RoC2kgQAvD_BwE Cut the ends for the length you want and pull the seven strands out of the outer sleeve and you will have your hollow firehose that is easy to flatten or have round. It comes in many colors including white.

CDW Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share #54 Posted December 27, 2020 Whatever this modeler used looks convincing. Shoestrings? paracord? I'm not sure but the weave needs to look small enough to be convincing for scale. Will have to scratch some hose fittings. yvesvidal, Egilman, lmagna and 6 others 9 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

I do know that heat softens it.... so maybe some fashion of an ironing process between wax paper will flatten it if simple gravity doesn't do the job... But hey, it looks like braided hose and in the right sizes.... I'll still be looking to see if they make it in different materials.... I see they have the metal coverings as well they will flatten I'm sure but probably more expensive..... but I didn't check the sizes in that category.... Here ya go, tinned copper woven flats.... https://www.wirecare.com/category/braided-sleeving/metal-shielding-sleeving/tinned-copper-flat/mfn0-13sv-flexo-tinned-copper-flat-1-8-silver-10-ft-cuts https://www.wirecare.com/category/braided-sleeving/metal-shielding-sleeving/tinned-copper-flat/mfn0-19sv-flexo-tinned-copper-flat-3-16-silver-10-ft-cuts A bit more pricey over the PET.... And yes they do 3/16ths which is about what a flattened 3" hose would be in 1/24th.... easily paintable into any color you want....
