How about a Fire Prevention Parade. Remember those in the 50's with tons of fire trucks

Hi H. Michael Pierce, That sounds like a good idea to me, esp. since our real-life little town has a small parade of several pieces of fire equipment, sirens and bells sounding, bring Santa through neighborhoods at Thanksgiving, officially starting the decorating and getting-ready season for many of us at that very special time of year.
If you have some individual pieces of such equipment to show us, that might be a nice way to speak to the imaginations here in a creative way. You might - or anybody else - even arrange what you have in a parade "sketch" (something I do for a lot of my vignettes - "sketching" the arrangement of their elements out on a "base-plate") on a table in a "test-run" before the glues come out.
It might be enjoyable for us to share ideas that way, too, before we ever touch a layout, to get ideas of what looks best and/or the most realistic or effective (?)
Thanks for the input, sir!
