Now why didn't one of these models come into my ownership. I like Fire Engines and I like working features especially steerable front wheels!

I was 28 years old in 1986 so maybe a little too old to be out buying such models

Hi Kevin,
Most kids love fire trucks. I used to have one (scale 1:18) manufacturer unknown similar to K132A Fire Tender. Although I liked emergency vehicles, cranes were my favorite.
My very first matchbox was MB30 Faun 8 wheel crane. Pictured below is the actual model. When I bought it, the store owner pulled it out of the rotary display. Must have
been the last one & no box was available, most likely thrown away. My brother bought the MB44 Refrigerator Truck which he later gave to me and of course I still have it as well.
Also, a picture of a K132A Fire Tender with light amber windows (not mine).
