The last set of posts for today looks at the rear of the fire engine.
In the first picture, I have already fitted the pump unit and the suction hose connector. The pump unit is the same as the one used on the portable pump introduced with the 3880 in 1996. The suction connector is new to the 4821. By using the pump unit in this way, it means that the new fire engine has built-in pumping capacity using one or other of the Playmobil water units.
Two blue lights go on at roof level, again, very nice and neat mouldings and, again, already "electrified" on klickywelt.
The doors are straight in profile, unlike the ones on the 3880, but the access ladder is the same. The "dimple" on the right hand door takes a yellow System-X connector onto which the hose reel unit from the 4825 accessory set fits. I'll show this fitted later in the review.
Well, that's it for today. Tomorrow we're probably going out so it will be Thursday before I can do any more photos; then it will be fitting the shutters to the sides and fitting internal equipment.
