I remember being at Greenfield Village about 30 years ago for a show.
They were pumping water out of the lagoon and you would think
the fire engine was not running.  The engine was so quiet but
it was pumping water.

Pretty cool .... do they have the rest the fire engine to go with that?

Just the engine. There was an antique fire truck with a little less engine.
