OLYMPUS E-600
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.
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.
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.
