He does say it was more to ship than to purchase.

I've been trying to forget about that part of this - the cost of shipping SUCKED.

Did you investigate rail shipping? I had a collectible truck shipped by rail and it was much cheaper than OTR. It was some time ago though, but I imagine for something as large as a fire engine it might have been very cost-effective.

Yep! I briefly looked into it but was told that it wouldn't be possible to get it anywhere close to me by rail.
