Cool! That's one of my favorite models in ANY scale, Marv.

@karl Actually the manual was from some file cleanout at work in the late 1970s. We used to do the municipal insurance grading and at the time Memphis was a fire protection Class 2 city. In 2019 they became Class 1, probably the only one in TN.
