2 very nice fire vehicles and a ambulance arrived yesterday from Hatton's.

It's Oxford diecast 00, Aec Regent, Bedford and Austin. It's a good value for

the money.

I like those Sven, especially the ambulance, plenty of character there. They look like solid, heavy models.

Thank's Bob, yes they are heavy and solid, i was very positive surprised

over this models, and they are in metal. And the price was lower for all 3

cars then one regular H0 models from Wiking, Herpa, Preiser for exampel

should cost here in Sweden. So is was a great value for the money for this

very nice cars…thumbs:thumbs

I'm really glad that you consider them a bargain and are happy with your purchase Sven. The models in Sweden must be really expensive.

Wow!  Look at the detail!  Very nice, Sven.  My son in law is an ex-London firey.  I'll show him the pictures when they get here this arvo.  :thumbs

Great models Sven :thumbs

I like that ambulance - most of them seem to say where they're from so are not really useful on most "generic" layouts - you wouldn't see a "Maidstone Ambulance Service" vehicle very far from Maidstone for example.  That "problem" with service vehicles has always made me wonder about the market for them.

My experiences trying to buy tram track from a Swedish manufacturer confirm that it's an expensive country !!!!

Yes Bob, everything is expensive in this country.

Max i like LFB very much, and I watched all episode of Londons Burning.;-)

Peter you got a point there, but I collected fire vehicles and ambulances beside the

railway. And old english fire vehicles is so very nice. The tram track you should buy

wos that from the firm Swed Tram, thats is a very expensive manufacturer.

But like I told Bob, everything is expensive here, food, electrisity, petrol, etc…:sad::sad::sad:

 

But are those high prices compensated for by high salaries in Sweden Sven. Or is it an expensive place for the Swedish people too.

Bob - it is expensive for the Swedish people too.:sad:

Many many here in Sweden have very low salaries, so it's very

hard for many people here. So the pictures of Sweden in the world

is very wrong…

That's not so good Sven. Like your avatar by the way.

Thank's Bob, it's one of my 2 dogs, this is Timmy…

Yes Sven, that's the company.

They make straight rails for an Amercican company and ship them over to the States.  The cost of the rail from Swed Tram was almost the same as it was from the American company which I thought strange if the Americans were going to make a profit.

The real problem came with their points.  They would cost me the equivalent of over £30 sterling each !!!!

As the rail is in 1 metre lengths, for safe packaging, I need to order at least 16 rails plus the special metal bar to bend it (it's grooved rail so won't bend like ordinary railway track).  I think it looks good but it's too expensive for me

Okey Peter, yes Swed Tram have very high prices, but the track

and their trams looks very good but the prices is to high…:sad::sad::sad:
