Learning just now of the names of the various sounds these behemoths make, thanks to Fulvue and firemanGaz, reminded me of this one I took when all 8 floors had to vacate yet again. Fine in the summer, not so fine in mid-winter, during a blizzard, in the middle of the night!
Fire Engine Limo, Scania 93M BIG8524 - seen at Queensferry Motor auctions in North Wales - has been operating in the Glasgow area , so not sure what it is doing in North Wales.

Summer will forever be known for their charming but pretty crude diecast cars sold in multipacks. Surprisingly, as well as some decent truck models, they also managed to produce this rather nice chunky looking fire engine ladder truck. It appears to be a copy of the original Tomica casting but this is actually of a larger scale with more detailing and a nice weighty feel about it, very un Summer like! Even the ladder lifts hydraulically! Sold as a separate item in their Motor Force packaging. Mint and boxed.

I respect and appreciate the Matchbox 2006 Fire Engine casting and as generic as it may be its good enough to buy small multiples of whenever it gets a new recolour. Its last was back in 2017 with this eye catching yellow and black City Fire Department livery. Bought from ASDA back in November 2017. Mint and boxed.

For some reason, out of all the modern Matchbox castings various Chinese toy makers could have copied, it appears the most popular one appears to be their 2006 Fire Engine! Maybe its because there is no real manufacturers licensing agreement to worry about or maybe its because its unashamedly angular bodywork is easy to copy? Whatever the reason, this generic Fire Engine has now been in the range for over a decade with a modification back in 2013 to aid in cost saving and can be found in multiple recolours such as this attractive yellow version from around 2014. A very simple looking vehicle it nonetheless shows that generic MBX castings can look realistic and well cast. Part of an old five vehicle set bought recently from Toys R Us. Mint and boxed.
