City of York Fire Station Line-Up.In this picture we can see the typical line-up of vehicles of the City of York Fire Brigade in their yellow livery from around the early 1970's outside the station on display.
On the left is a converted Green Goddess by Corgi,next we have the 1962 Commer walk-thru van which was used as a Salvage Tender,this being a Dutch model made by a company called efsi,next in the line-up is the 1970 ERF 50'PHP which was originally a pump escape model(make unknown)and totally rebuilt,and last is a model of the 1960 Bedford RL/Derwent Emergency Tender which again was totally rebuilt from an Oxford Diecast Green Goddess.All these models are in the 1.76 scale and have been converted,or scratchbuilt from original photographs of the appliances from the period.
Again,I must thank my friend Paul Warnock for the use of the York Fire Station photograph to enable me to set-up this diarama and show all the appliances in the line-up,maybe as it would have been all those years ago in the City of York.
