Latest 2022 Case C recolour of the highly believable classically styled generic MBX Fire Dasher. All bulbous curves and running boards, its only main gripe is its lack of chrome which on this example i've corrected using a Molotow pen.
Mint and boxed.
Crossing over from 2023 Case C to D is the latest recolour of the Matchbox MBX Fire Dasher, a rather believable but totally generic design. Money saved on no manufacturers license fees means this gets the real life San Luis Obispo Fire Department livery.
Found recently at B&M Bargains.
Mint and boxed.
I normally avoid buying the vast majority of the generic designs which have dominated the Matchbox range for a good five years now but occasionally one appears which looks believable enough. The Foam Fire Truck isn't a particularly new casting but its the first time i've really ever noticed it and as this new for 2017 recolour was in an ASDA store I visited recently I decided to buy it. Its extremely simplistic design which is just made up mainly of right angles and flat panels appeals to me and reminds me of the type of vehicle you might see in places such as Africa or any other continent which has large areas of desert and scrubland. Mint and boxed.
J712 NWL
Volvo FL6/Chambers Engineering firefighter experience vehicle
Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service
Broughton, Milton Keynes, 3 August 2008
Bucks Fire bought two operational support units with identical bodywork in the early 1990s. K102 UJO is still on the run but was recently redesignated as a Special Equipment Unit following the arrival of two new Mercedes OSUs. Its slightly older sister J712 NWL was converted some time ago into the 'firefighter experience', a sort of mobile adventure playground/assault course to give children a taste of life as a firefighter. This vehicle attended the 2008 open day at Broughton fire station but had to close early after the crew manning it were called to a shout.
Both of these CDF-Cal Fire trucks are older 1989-2001 International 4000 series, Model 14 or 15 Type III wildland fire engines. Seen here responding Code 3 to the scene of the Applegate Wildfire. They are driving in the emergency lane on I80 north of Sacramento. I took these shots through the rearview mirror of my car, I flipped these photos around so you don't see the trucks backwards. Both of these engines have a newer LED lightbar and after market reflector optic LED headlights.

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.
