So cool! I grew up with this show - one of my favorites. Universal Studios used to have an Emergency! "show" where they would pull members out of the tours to be in scene recreations. My dad got picked to play Jon Gage - thought that was awesome.

Fascinating stuff! I watched Adam-12 and Emergency! when I was kid back in the early 1970s. They were two of my favourite TV shows. The only thing I have to remind me of those two shows is a mid-1960s Federal PA20 electronic siren. The siren sound effect for Adam-12 and Squad 51 was a recording of the same type of siren.

The part at 1:04 where you talk about having the all-in-one (complete series) DVD of Emergency!-- I have that too in that form, and it has been and still is a staple of my collection (my copy has the outside plastic worn and wavy, but that's because I've watched the show so much; I have seen it as much as I have because, IMO, it is the gold standard for both firefighting shows and medical dramas [the former because of the teamwork evident in the men of Station 51, led expertly by Capt. Hank Stanley; the latter because of the same thing exhibited very much in the medical personnel at fictional Rampart General Hospital: Drs. Kelly Brackett, Joe Early and Mike Morton, and Nurse Dixie McCall, as well as all the other doctors and nurses]).

Very interesting. Great collectors items! I loved the details on the vehicles.

I removed my station from the base and built a interior of the station in the bays. Brick wall, doors I cut out a small piece from a map book in a square and build a framed station response area map to hang on the wall. Looks good. I have kit bashed several Code 3 trucks. Completely taking them apart stripping the paint off cutting the cab to make a flat roof truck repaint them putty work put different cabs on different bodies you name it. Was a fun hobby until Code 3 closed up shop. I'd tell you to go ahead and completely custom the station these things won't be worth anything like we think anyways plus the custom pieces sell better than any of the stock Code 3's

Personally I feel the base is really a letdown with this piece, not only because of the look, but also the quality or lack of. I definitely have plans to eventually remove it and build a dedicated set for the station to sit on, replicating it as station 127 was in the 70's. Probably a project for this coming winter. On the topic of Code 3 customs, I recently built a Sutphen engine, which you can find photos of in my community tab. At this time it's still not finished, but it was one of the featured pieces at a show I attended a couple weekends ago. First custom and first time I ever took one of those trucks apart, and I was amazed at the number of small pieces those trucks had. Definitely a lot of attention to detail.

Cool vehicles, I've been planning to see Squad 51 and Engine 51 at the LA County Fire Museum as well as visiting the station where it was filmed but Iv'e seen the current Station 51 by Universal. The station where Emergency! was filmed is Station 127 in Carson, CA.

I'd like to visit Station 127 and check out the LA County Fire Museum, but sadly being clear over here on the east coast makes that rather difficult, though not impossible. I've actually got a younger friend over in California who was born in 1997 (almost a good 30 years after Emergency), and he recently found out about the show through my channel. What was even more surprising is he discovered that he's only a 30 minute drive from the museum, so he said about maybe checking it out when he gets the time to do so. If I can ever come up with the time and money to travel, I wouldn't mind meeting up with him there someday.

@@PlowBenderStudios Yeah, I went to California twice from NY State and was wondering how far Station 127 that represented Station 51 from Emergency! was from the In-N-Out Burger restaurant we were at but we didn't have plans to go there because I found out it was too far from the restaurant. At least I can go next time.

Where did you get the mirros for the dodge dually

@PlowBenderStudios 11 ай бұрын

If you're referring to the ones on the rescue squad, the truck came with them from factory.

Where can I get these vehicles

@PlowBenderStudios 3 ай бұрын

The only thing I can say is to look on eBay, but be prepared to pay some serious money for them. At the same time, be careful as there's a lot of price gouging for these pieces, even if they are broken and/or missing parts. I would honestly say don't pay anymore than $150 for each of these, and if they're not with box and COA, I'd pay even less then.

Actually the real squad wasn’t it was a stunt double from I read

@PlowBenderStudios 8 ай бұрын

Yes you are correct. That particular truck was a 1970 Dodge D300 which was a stand in for the actual squad. There were actually three different squads used throughout the series run. The first was a 1972 D300 which was used for the first two seasons. In Season 3 they used a 1973 D300 and transferred parts from the first squad to the second one. Then in Season 5 they used a 1974 D300, again transferring parts from the first one. This is the same squad that currently resides in the LA County Fire Museum alongside Engine 51 and Engine 60.
