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!
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.

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.
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.
