A couple of Sundays ago I picked up this incomplete Simon Snorkel fire engine, Superkings 1978 for 50p at Wetherby.

I've had a pop at fixing it up a bit:
new extension ladder end, new cage, new side ladders, new turning dial, new hose and nozzle and a general paint touch-up. Twas tender fun.
Here's the revamped version.
Hope you like it.
Is it a toy you had? I was too old at 17 in 1978. I'm not too old now at 64!
I had a 1960s Corgi Simon Snorkel. Cool toy. Lots of play value.
ReplyDeleteWas it similar to this one Anon?
DeleteI don't recall having one as a kid, but my current O-gauge layout has one in a 'building on fire' scene.
ReplyDeleteBTW Woodsy, your repairs were so well done I couldn't tell where you had fixed anything!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Thanks Ed! You would if you were close up!
DeleteWe have got to see that fire scene Ed!
