Matchbox Series No:35.
Made in the UK by Lesney.
I think this was one of the first models with the Superfast Wheels.
Played with this a lot when i was young.
Funny thing is...I can remember buying this in a shop in Brockworth, Gloucestershire in 1970ish when i was 11. Not sure why i remeber this??
Can't remember what i had for breakfast yesterday!
KX55 PMU
Scania 94D/Emergency One
Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service (reserve)
Buckingham, 23 March 2011
Purely by chance I happened to walk past Buckingham fire station today and noticed the usual appliance in the yard and something different lurking in its bay which called for further investigation. It turned out that both of the allocated appliances were due for servicing so they had been replaced by reserve vehicles, KX55 PMU being one of the oldest Scanias formerly on the run at High Wycombe. In the background is Buckingham's own appliance KX59 JHH, which had just returned from workshops so this one is going back into reserve tomorrow.
Irnham Hall Lincolnshire was largely rescued from the 1887 fire by the local fire brigade and the Shand Mason and Company's steam fire engine. Here is a london stamped engine - a similar or identical model to the ones used. The nearby small lake was used as a water supply. The north wing was badly gutted but restoration ensured the Hall's survival today as a grade 1 listed building.

Attractive 100th Anniversary Pierce Dash fire engine by Matchbox. I bought this one recently by mistake totally forgetting I already have a few in my collection! LOL. Far better looking in my opinion than some of the generic fire engine models Matchbox continue to offer. Surely this and the Dennis Sabre is enough to keep kids and collectors happy?
Mint and boxed.
You may want to click the All Sizes button and look at a larger version of this image to see what's going on. At the fire expo, they let the kids ride around a building twice in the fire engines. Jared got to sit up front where the controls for the sirens, lights and horn are. Look carefully and you'll see the firefighter waving and shouting at Jared to knock it off, as Jared is stretching out his foot to hold down the horn. For the entire ride. That's my boy.
9 July 2013, sizzling in the street. This was a parade mostly for local volunteer fire departments, but there was a lot of stepper groups as well.
I still haven't figured out yet whether this rather boxy and bonneted Fire Engine model is actually based on a real vehicle or purely generic. It certainly looks realistic enough in a cheapo kind of way and definitely not as far out as some of the stuff coming out of Matchbox over the last few years! Made by Suntoys it is part of a pretty vast range of low end unlicensed models which can be found the World over in cheap multi sets and under various different brand names. This one came from Wilkinsons as part of a five vehicle set I bought a few of purely because they contained a rather neat looking Ford Crown Vic Police car! Mint and boxed.
Volvo brought to the show a "New Fire Engine Concept" vehicle. The basic premise is that Volvo do their own chassis and bodybuilding in-house rather than selling the chassis onto a bodybuilder/converter to do the job for them.
