Fire Appliance
Built by Brian Elvidge in October 2012
This model is built from one of the last conventional Meccano sets produced in 1995–6, before the advent of the Model sets produced by France.
It features a motorised tractor unit and an articulated trailer, a ladder unit which elevates using a hand wheel. A weakness of this model is in the turntable of the ladder section, which needs beefing up to make it more satisfactory.
