Hi Paulus, the firetruck is handcrafted from wood, even the wheels,tires, and nozzles. i thought it was pretty good looking and just about the right scale for us. i went to the shop for the stake truck, it was 29.99, but when i saw the firetruck for 39.99 (...and oregon has no sales tax) i decided on it

Thanks Jim, for the great link to the firetruck, very informative and maybe now i'll be able to answer a question or two from our visitors. i think the truck would look good with the chrome/silver color on the pumps, nozzles and trim, and plan on putting some paint on them soon. i'm just amazed that the gift shop could sell it for under fourty dollars, and that its completely made of wood !
