Re: 35c Merryweather Fire Engine
I like the way Jason says..."now onto the next one"...like it's a foregone conclusion, that whatever the next one is, it is going into his collection...

I thought that too, now say it in the style of Arnie and it could even sound a bit menacingGHOSTHUNTER wrote:I like the way Jason says..."now onto the next one"...like it's a foregone conclusion, that whatever the next one is, it is going into his collection...

Re: 35c Merryweather Fire Engine
Hi All, i managed to pick up this nMint early casting without the side ridge but im am not too clued up with them so a little help will do...thanks.
Has side decals over the divided lockers.Has an upside-down ladder.Without the "A" and without "Pat App" on base.Has hollow wheels and long axle clips.Has smaller ladder locators on roof.
Does it look legit?
Thanks,
numi

Re: 35c Merryweather Fire Engine
looks ok to me Numi same as mine and JBs earlier in this thread the only differences being the upside down ladder (could have come off at some time and been replaced incorrectly ??) longer axle clips than mine (JBs has long clips) and the labels , could this be one of the early issues when they realised the label would not site right on the twin door casting (mine has no sign of labels being fitted ) just a thought
nice find

Re: 35c Merryweather Fire Engine
Certainly a nice find with labels fitted and intact. (Mine doesn't have any labels or glue residue either.)
