This is my scratch-built 1/76th scale 00 gauge model of a Fire Service Simon SS220 Hydraulic Platform. I built the model from 20thou. & 40thou. Plasti-card. The hydraulic platform is a fully working model. The three booms work independently and can reach a scale height of 72 feet. The vehicle is also scratch-built from plasti-card using a Volvo cab taken from a BW Models white metal kit.
Having done 15 years on the model show circuit; my working model of the Simon SS220 Hydraulic Platform was showing signs of wear & tear, mainly due to showing people how the model works.
The cross-over platform at the knuckle of the 2 main booms had to be replaced, not an easy job as the booms are made of plasti-card and had to be dismantled. At the same time I decided to replace the lettering on the boom with a style more in keeping with that used by Simon Engineering, the original lettering was done with a water-slide alphabet sheet (all I had at the time). Having done the repairs I thought I'd up-load a better photo than the one on the site.
I hope in time to build a new vehicle to mount the hydraulic platform on.

Seen on the M4 in Newport.
En-route to Chepstow to rescue sheep stuck in mud.
Operated by South Wales Fire Service and based in Malpas, Newport.
Aerial Ladder Platform based at Inverness Fire Station. Highlands & Islands Fire & Rescue Service. This appliance & the ET are switch crewed depending on which is required - however if both are required the 2nd away pump is crewed by a 3 man crew to provide 2 men to man both specials with a support pump called to provide backup for the 2nd pump
I am assuming this station is run by "On-call" Firemen.
I was parked up in a lay-by next door when a guy ran past me at full speed holding a noisy
bleeper.
When I saw him run into the Fire Station, I thought..."Hello"??
Within 2 minutes some more men arrived, also at very high speed and the truck was ready to leave.
I am not sure how long it took them from receiving the call but they weren't hanging about..
Impressive stuff really!
