First HD Trucks in my collection! Has a small chip, sadly, but, everything else came out fine. I'll take it.

:wave: The HD ambulances are nice rigs1 The Memphis version is a sharp looking ambulance from GL - still need to add this version to my emergency vehicle collection. See the newest version will be a Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Ambulance.

I will definitely be trying to add the FDNY and Las Vegas ones! Now if we only we had some modern fire engines as well :P

I second that emotion! They've already got one casting that could fairly easily be decorated as a USAR or HAZMAT rig (that Coca Cola/soft drink delivery truck that came out last year in plain undecorated fire engine red).

With most of their HD truck models, there isn't much 3D detail....they're box vans for the most part. So, I don't expect to see a 'standard' city-service pumper in the line, unless it's like the San Luis Obispo Engine 4 that Sammy "Hoseman" Fox Captains, with all pump details hidden behind rollup doors. That would do for me.....but there does seem to be a severe lack of fire engines at affordable price points in the larger scales since the demise of Code 3. (I thank my lucky stars almost daily that Matchbox is the leader in variety and number of fire apparatus in the 3-inch scales.)

And for those who are not aware - they do offer the ambulance casting as a blank so you can create your own rig!
