Lowes Building Stores, Fire Truck

I just purchased a Horse Drawn Ladder for $15.99 in Plastic. Found it in the Christmas Isle.
It has 5 fireman on it, comes in a window box 13" long.If I knew how to post a photo I would.
Can't beat it for the price.

Re: Lowes Building Stores, Fire Truck

Can you email a pic of this to me ?

Thanks

Don: Thanks for the heads up on this model! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that doesn't know how to post pics on this site. Mike posted instructions that didn't work for me. It would be nice to have pics on this site. Is there an easy way?

Location: Md.

Re: Lowes Building Stores, Fire Truck

I looked for the pic to post here at Lowes website with no luck.

Anyhow, when I post pics here they are hosted elsewhere such as my website, for this you can enter the code , that should work. There are several websites out there that will host your pictures such as Photobucket.

Hmmm, well it was looking for actual HTML code, thus the RED X, anyhow, try open carrot img src= (here is where you put the complete HTML address, then use a closed carrot

Re: Lowes Building Stores, Fire Truck

I checked for this item at the Clovis (CA) Lowes this evening -- it was one of two items in the display that was sold out (there was a space for it, with a label calling it a "fire ladder" and a price of $15.97). Looks like there were three of each of the items in the set (the only other one that was sold out was a christmas train). I'll look for it at two Fresno area stores tomorrow....

Re: Lowes Building Stores, Fire Truck

Bought mine last night at a Lowe's outside Atlanta for $15. No bad, plastic horse drawn ladder with 3 firemen on the rig. There is also a lighted firehouse available, for under the tree, for about $40.

Re: Lowes Building Stores, Fire Truck

Doesn't exactly look prototypically correct, eh? As if they shortened the length for easier packaging?

Guess I could buy two, cut them apart, and make a double-length one closer to what I perceive the real things looking like.

mjl, prepared to be corrected on the subject of short-length horse-drawn ladder trucks.

Re: Lowes Building Stores, Fire Truck

I picked one up today at Lowe's in Fresno -- not bad for the price ($17.24 including tax). I posted some photos on the fireEngines.net site http://www.modelfiretrucks.net/smf/index.php?topic=4532.0

There were several more on the shelf at the Fresno store -- if anyone wants one, I can provide one at purchase price plus actual cost of mailing....
