Tom Showers not only was a superb modeller but he also helped those who scratch-built. Tom made parts such as bells, siren speakers, etc out of aluminium on a small lathe. He was also a great photographer. He visited us in the Detroit, MI area in the 1960's when the DFD had all those great Seagrave Sedan pumpers - we gave him the royal tour.
He would always help you if you had a modelling question - but that was back in the old "snail mail" days.
