Wow, you have one too, Gordon :)

They are fine machines aren't they :love:
I have that exact boat in the shed, with the motor and oars as well :!:

Thanks for these great photos, Gordon - it also explains the mystery of the wierd hose drum locker design - one of those knobs! I have spares of them too! <:>

the most annoying thing is that years ago I had spare the monitor and a floodlight, but I think I threw them away because I didn't recognise them as Playmobil :'( (they were the years before Playmofriends) ;)

Not sure, but I think I may have a yellow dingy - whether it is the same or not I'll have to check.  At the moment it is, with all my Playmobil at the village hall.  The drawers of spares are being stored at the back of the stage but I'll try and get to it tomorrow and check if you want one Damo.

Thanks for your kind offer Elaine, but I think I have it sorted :)

Er, had one.  I gave it to my firefighter friend in Australia.  They are, however, fine machines.  People sometimes call them an airfield fire engine ro crash truck, but they aren't really.  The cab is based on the round fronted Mercede trucks of the 1980s.

Oh :-\

I have always been interested as to how these style vehicles (fire engine, bin truck skip truck etc) were based around. I always thought they looked a bit made up :-\

Be careful of the hose reel turning knobs, Damo! There are different knobs but the ones you are needing are a one of a kind design & diameter & are not interchangeable with any others!

Thanks for this warning, Bill!

I will go and acess my knobs, and see if I can identify the correct one!

(although the chances of me having it , now!) ;D
