Call the Fire Brigade

​

 I have previously built rail-bus models using parts of 1970's, Japanese made, model car radios...

     These are sometimes available on eBay, usually not in working order, but that doesn't matter as I cut them up and

throw away the radio parts anyway.

​

 My rail-bus  conversions have turned out to be unusual and attractive models and add something to my quirky

 railway. As soon as I saw this model I knew what could be made from it, so out came the screwdriver and saw!

​

The green parts are my new additions of Plastikard, the rest is mainly the original chassis, apart from the front end

and under the running boards. With a spray coat of grey primer the vehicle begins to take on a new life...

It shouldn't be too difficult to guess what it is by now, so here are some more clues...
