9a Dennis Fire Engine

Post by Diecast »

First of all Happy New Year to all guys here. Today I would like to show you a very interesting model 9a Dennis Fire Engine. It is a model with a small escape ladders wheels. Usually it is mentioned that the ladders wheels are smaller and have 16 spokes. Because it is rather a rare model, it was impossible to verify it somewhere. Here are the dimensions:
- Ø11mm (circa plus, minus 0.2 mm)
- 10 spokes
- rounded rims
- 4.5 mm hubs

Happy new year Antonin, very interesting model.
Can you show the over side showing the crimped end.
I know the wheels from the wagon and horses has been seen on this model, maybe there are other models with these wheels. J

Happy new year from me as well Antonin. A very nice model with the small wheels, I was trying to remember the earlier discussion about these and I couldn't recall the details, thanks for the memory jog Jason :) The only rarer wheels I've seen on these were the 16 spokes which came up on ebay a year or so ago (and had lots of interest at the time).

Maybe its the small front wheels of the cart, here is a picture of the rear wheels from the last discussion I can remember.
