It was a wet and fairly windy day at this years Fire Engine Rally so just goes to show that the sky's over Paisley are not always blue...

An unusual find in Dumbarton was this Angloco bodied MAN of the Defence Fire & Rescue Service

Situated in Mersey Square, the station was demolished in the mid 1960s to make way for Merseyway shopping centre. Whether this was an improvement, is debatable ;-)

The casting may be generic but its Boone County recolour certainly isn't! A very appealing new recolour which despite its all plastic body continues to impress with its realistic US influenced styling and proportions. From the latest MBX Rescue five vehicle set. Mint and boxed.

Dumpster Fire.

We were all sound asleep at 2:45 am when the carbon monoxide detector started chirping. It was LOUD! The dog was terrified and I have to admit it got my attention. On with the robes, slippers, and leash and out the door into the cold we went. A call to 911 got us a fire truck and 4 friendly firemen who checked out the house and informed us that the CO detector had been manufactured in 2006 and they generally have a useful life of 5 years. Their (the fire department's) detector could not find a problem, we were welcome to go back in the house. We agreed to buy a new CO detector tomorrow (Ugh - shopping on Black Friday!). About an hour later the dog has stopped trembling and all is calm.

this uses to be the ici fire engine

As well as collecting models made by the more well known toy manufacturers I also have a big interest in the lesser known ones particularly from the Far East. A lot of these manufacturers never put their own name on either the models or packaging which makes identification pretty difficult. This charming little fire engine I think was made by a company called Supreme though the packaging states David Halsall now known as HTI. The fire engine itself may well be based on a real vehicle but I have no idea which though there are resemblences to the old Corgi Junior ERF Simon Snorkel.
