Just about the right side of acceptable generic Matchbox castings is this Highway Rescue Fire Engine. The front end looks a tad clumsy but nothing too horrendous with everything else after looking believable with its chunky styling. With so many decent licensed Fire Engine models in the Matchbox line up I'm not entirely sure why there is a need for models like this. This gold version was found in a five vehicle set bought from ASDA in the Christmas period of 2015. Mint and boxed.
ex Hampshire until an accident ended its brigade life. Rebuilt for LWT for the TV series London's Burning
Neat new generic Fire Engine with a classic twist in its styling. You might have thought we would have seen chrome with the license fee its saved but overall very pleasing for its budget price point. Part of Case E. Mint and boxed.
The excellent Greenock Fire Service Museum in Dalrymple Street. All but one of these machines are still taken on the road for display.

No trip to the Far East, particularly Japan obviously, would be complete without bringing back some Tomica! Despite one of the very first diecasts bought for me as a toddler being a Tomica its a brand which has never really had the chance to shine here in the UK and indeed Europe despite their obvious appeal.
I'm certainly no Tomica newbie but due to high prices online its always been a peripheral brand in my collection and so spending three weeks in Japan has gone a little way in correcting that balance. A combination of an extremely favourable exchange rate and availability every bit as good as Hot Wheels is here ensures I brought back suitcases full of them! ;-p
In many retailers and with additional tax free discounts a lot of the Tomica mainline models actually cost less than what most of UK stores charge for Hot Wheels which is definitely a sobering thought!
This gorgeous little Morita Fire Engine Type CD-1 is typical of the diecasts produced by Japans favourite toy car brand, an unashamedly domestic themed vehicle with a heavy metal content, great detailing and working suspension.
Found in a BIC Camera store which proved a good and inexpensive source.
Mint and boxed.
