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.
277WTC Bedford J5, Cumbria Fire Service, Newcastle upon Tyne, 23/4/1988 (Photo taken by my late father, William Allan)
Seagrave pumper and Freightliner rescue truck in the Guanajuato fire station. The Seagrave is apparently formerly of Ashland (OR?), with 'Ashland' titles, an American flag in the window, and '911' painted as the emergency number (instead of the Mexican 066).
This vehicle paper model is a Seagrave 100' TDA Fire Engine, the papercraft is created by MiRO, and the scale is in 1:100.

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.
Part of a 2 vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
Although Suntoys have shown some promise recently with their new but limited range of licensed 1/64 models, their staple products are still crudish generic models like this. The cab looks like it might be based on an old Ford Transcontinental truck but who knows? Part of a 2 vehicle set currently on sale at Poundland. Mint and boxed.
Yet another new Matchbox MBX Fire Dasher, from the 2021 Case E. Grey plastic is a reminder of this little castings low price point, particularly in the US, but its body is made of metal and as generics go its classic American era styling is entirely believable. Mint and boxed.
Called-out to an alleged conflagration on the beach at Eastbourne (New Zealand) this splendid and immaculate Dodge Commando fire appliance from the local brigade makes wonderful Perkins v8.540 noises as it moves along the seafront. It was a G1513 model and was fitted with automatic transmission.
"Specialist rescue team" with inflatable pontoon boat on standby by the look of it. It's been raining heavily, but not that heavily.
One of the oldest appliances in the brigade museum collection, this is a Leyland Cub FK7 pump escape, basically Oxford Diecast's Canterbury version with the lettering removed. This one is correctly right-hand drive, unlike the initial release that was actually undrivable with pedals on the right and the steering wheel on the left, a mistake that the Chinese factory was suitably chastised for!
