Posted June 8, 2017 Nice and I notice that they're going with the Federal Q mechanical siren and is this going to replace their current frontline truck or is this going to be a new truck company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2017 the q siren is an electronic version, not a true q, if you enlarge the pic you can see it. I would assume it is replacing the current truck at station 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2017 Any reason as to why they change their numbering ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 9, 2017 It is a true mechanical siren. It is recessed behind the bumper to help keep the overall length down. They use the Eq2b cover just for looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 11, 2017 If it's a mechanical siren then where are the side screen and fins? Look close and you can see the box for the electronic siren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
