It's about time they start putting REAl sirens back on those trucks!  I know in gridlock traffic you can't do much, but at least they'll know your coming!!

All the new rigs have the EQ2B standard.

You will see less of the real Q's as rigs with them are getting replaced such as Lad 7.

L-135/L-43  :eek:

I'm the impression that L-43 uses a different mechanical; it just doesn't quite sound like a Q, and they seem to use it pretty regularly  :-\

Does E33 have a Q, or something like it.  I heard it a couple of years, I think it sounded like one.  but it wasnt an actual Q, it was smaller

From what I've seen it looks like a smaller mechanical.  I'll add it to the list, thanks!
