Looking for info on the 02 Reserve engines

[QuinnD777]

Figured I'd introduce myself. My name is Quinn Dickinson,
A bunch of friends and I have purchased a few of the old 02s rigs and one 98 pumper over the past year or so. We are in search of parts, info and just general stuff.

In our group we have:
Engine 241 (Reserve 500)
Engine 33 (Reserve 513)
Engine 60 (Reserve 505)
Eengine 210 (unknown last assignment)
Engine 97 (Reserve 503)
and E229.

60, 33 and 241 are in Pennsylvania, 97 and 210 are in NY state and 229 is owned by a friend in Canada.


I am looking for any photos, info, and mainly info on graphics and such for them.
241 is my main pride and joy with my old 1982 Hahn pumper.
241 and 229 are the furthest along in terms of restoration.

I'm certainly glad to see this someone is preserving a few of these engines for posterity reasons but overall you guys planning doing with them? You have made a large investment and Musters and Parades provide little if any paybacks!

For some good photos, go to fdnytrucks.com and find E33 under Manhattan, E60 and E97 under the Bronx and E210, E229 and E241 under Brooklyn and scroll until you find similar Seagraves.

We're doing it for the enjoyment and to preserve them. We got the rigs pretty cheap and myself and others have a ton of equipment and lights sitting around to equip them.
Probably down the line we might kick one or two loose but it would most likely be to another friend in our group.
I'm a life member of a fire museum here in PA where 33 and 241 are stored for winter. I got a ton of equipment from their store room for a small donation.
