A lovely sunny day out with my group, with a iced over pond... well those that could make it...ending with having to leave the coffee shop...a fire alarm... all the drama. the girls took their drinks with them...I had to much 'stuff to grab' so in sunshine and cold, but hey! it was an experience.
Same well known face with a VERY plasticky grey rear ladder body which Mattel would be proud of! Its obvious Maisto must now be struggling to make its budget 1/64 line up for the low prices worldwide retailers demand of them which is why rather like Matchbox and to a degree Hot Wheels their products continue to decline in quality and features!
The well styled generic cab remains metal and cleanly cast but there must surely come a time when these will have to stop being one Dollar/Pound/Euro fodder!
Part of a five vehicle Team City branded set found recently in a French JoueClub toy store. Mint and boxed.
1964/09.B25. I don't know much about this vehicle, other than the obvious - it's a fire engine! However, if anyone can tell me any more details such as type, vintage, etc., please do.
I thought at first that it is a Leyland, but it has been suggested that it is a Dennis / Merryweather. It was at a Vintage Vehicle Rally, somewhere in the south of England, in September, 1964. Again, if anyone knows where this was, I'd be plesed to hear from them.
Several people have confirmed that it is indeed a Dennis of 1939/1940 vintage.

I am uploading this appalling quality photo because the trolleybus may interest some. It follows immediately on a reel taken in Southampton, but it looks more like a London trolleybus, route 613 (?). Any ideas as to location, or where this route passed through?
This and many other of my photographs are featured in my book "London, Portrait of a City, 1950 to 1962" (Allan Hailstone, publ. Amberley Publishing), together with the story of how I came to photograph them and my memories of past London.

Warren Township Fire Department restored fire engine, on display at the Irvington Halloween Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Lots more duplicates of 2022 Case C left to post having ordered a full case online which has proved very prudent considering i've found very very little of this assortment in nearby Tesco stores so far. In fact most of them continue to be empty of Matchbox singles for multiple weeks on end!
A very cheery generic which looks pretty credible in the styling stakes and a useful way of saving Mattel license fees. Mint and boxed.
Lighting - Canon 580EXII handheld 45 deg. to model's right, 1/16 power, shot through Gary Fong light diffuser.
Snapped on the fly through coach window. Admittedly we were in stationary traffic along with the other few hundred classic vehicles!
2006 Pierce Dash 100' Tower 1500/300/30. I'm not sure about the ladder, tell me what you guys think.

Paisley Fire Engine Rally 2013.
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...

The Matchbox generic casting which spawned a thousand Chinese copies! Yet another recycled recolour now appearing in the latest MBX Fire Rescue five vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
35mm scan. I did a careful editing job on the black reflective stripe of the 2nd Suburban in the 3rd picture to remove some bad glare. These are both 1997-1999 model Suburban's, the one on the right is a base model.
