Help to identify

Post by blueboy30 »

Hi I need help to identify three items I have. The first is a cement mixer in red and green it is slightly larger than the Matchbox Regular wheels #3A there are no marking on the mixer anywhere. it measures 45mm long by 33mm high and 28mm at the axles the barrel mouth is 10mm dia approx. The other two are fire engines as shown in the pictures attached. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you Dave I have resized the pics I hope you can see them ok

Hi Dave, this appears to be your first posting but there was no approval or disapproval flagged up for the moderators to check the posting before allowing it on the forum, so I don't know how you came straight to the forum, however, you are very welcome.

I am afraid your pictures have not come through so please try again with an explanation of what you did, so we can maybe help you.

I approved it, and the photographs (albeit oversized) were definitely there when I did so. Very odd! Could it be some kind of file size issue?

Dave i also have a fire engine like the one on the left and have no idea about it , from memory it was not identified when I brought it to the forum a while ago .
My best guess is it is a ooo gauge train layout accessory and due to the weight either white metal or lead based construction like a Bradscar
the other one looks like a miniture copy of a #9a dennis , is it as heavy as the other one which could make it a ooo layout accessory also

I saw Dave's post but did not recognize him by name and noted it was his first so checked the Mods control panel
and nothing in there waiting for approval, how odd is that... :shock:

The Fire Engine on the right does give the appearence of being from AHI, Japan, but I have not checked it against my file pictures.

I am sure we have had the Cement mixer on the forum as well, so it should be identifiable by our more educated members (Robert, are you reading this... :D ).

Cement mixer is a Kemlow(s) 'Wee World' series, no. K48
I agree with the AHI and white metal kit suggestions above.

Cement mixer may be a 'Weekin' model as I have one like it.

Hi Idris Is there a site where I can check out the mixer. I can not see a mixer listed on any Kemlow's site I have found. I have a John Ramseys British diecast catalogue and there is nothing in that like it. Dave

I think the right hand Fire Engine is from AHI and is Japanese made - the one on the right might be Benbros? The mixer definitely looks like the Kemlow one but I'll need to check my book when I get home tonight...
