My own fire engines were probably the main source of ideas for this model, but I've also taken good looks at fire engines by Steven Asbury (the master of minifig scale US fire engines), Aaron Becraft (aka. Dunechaser), Alex Schranz (Orion Pax), Chris Blessing ( Mdrn~Mrvls) and several more I've seen in the last few years. Trust me, if your name is not on the list it's not because I didn't see your model!
As part of the National Trains Day celebrations at Tampa Union Station, the Tampa Fire Department displayed its restored Mack Type 75 fire tender. It dates from 1949. Cop the traditional Mack bulldog radiator badge...
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.

Well this is the first time I’ve uploaded a picture of any fire appliance in over a year I think, there will be more coming in the next few weeks though.
Anyway,
Here was MFRS Croxteth’s Scania P280 ( WH Bence ) DK67 AAJ with the fleet number of 1391, also known as M19P1, making a left turn on to East Lancashire Rd while making its way back to its home Station after going to an unknown emergency call ( that I saw it responding to from my bedroom window about 15 mins earlier ).
One interesting thing to note about where M19P1 is turning of, Stopgate Ln, is that it leads directly on to Long Ln which is were by mid 2024 DK67 AAJ and all the other residents of Croxteth (M19), as well as all residents of Aintree (M18) will be based out of, the TDA and all other MFRS specialist units at Croxteth will also be based out of this so called Long Lane ‘Superstation’.
Also, with the oldest appliances in the reserve fleet now being a good 17 yrs old, anyone have any idea exactly how long they have left in the reserve fleet ?

IZUZU FIRE ENGINE built by the Engineering staff Highland fire Brigade Inverness was based at BETTYHILL owned by STEVEN FRASER DORNOCH
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.

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.

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.
