The engine 2 has a Beacon Ray, the Rescue Truck has a Twin Sonic, and the grass rig has another Beacon Ray. I wish I could get my hands on them...

It looks like one of the last ones made. The name plate has the modern 'FS' logo on it, so I'd say it was likely made in the early 1980s.

That light was probably new old stock, and never used. Even the screws dont have the little rust spots on it, that everything has on it.

Yup more than likely a 230 tornado. Also has different axles under it. It is a 5/4 ton iirc. Back to top    URL
