Today I took a ride up to a train show in Fishkill NY, anyway here is my hall for $50.00.![]() A couple dollar cars, included is a Maisto / CCI ambulance for Stephens City. I did not have the Yatming Tanker, and the version of the Motormax Type II I have is a beater so this was an upgrade. ![]() I hadn't see this version of the Daron FDNY set before, the Ladder is a new model to me, and I have never seen this ambulance in FDNY.

Nice additions to your collection Brian. I have seen a picture of the FDNY set on some website (do not remember which one) and was listed as coming. The Stephens City Ambulance is a real nice grab!!

Nice finds! First I've seen or heard of that CCKW tanker, looks like a JL copy. I need to find one. |

That DARON FDNY 5-pack is a gem! I've been seeking that fire truck since I first saw the 5-pack (like Pastor John mentioned) somewhere online. A quick search of ebay and a snap-judgment purchase netted me the same 5-pack, even though there are a bunch of the ones with the Mitsubishi low-profile aerial instead of this ladder. Hopefully the seller actually has the one you found, and he pictured in the auction, and not one of the other ones. |

Congrats Brian, I never see that much fire stuff let alone much emergency related diecast at my local train show, you seemed to have hit good at yours. I like that FDNY set. |

I believe I have that one somewhere, but I couldn't find it in a search of several tubs yesterday...and of several intact multipacks of 'generic' brand emergency vehicles...it's frustrating to think you have something but not be able to find it... |

Microbus hit the nail on the head, Die-cast Cheap! Over the years I commonly will visit area train shows as I have found their target audience is looking to outfit a model railroad and will usually not pay top dollar for a fire truck model. I have picked up many Code 3 and Corgi's for less then retail at these shows. For instance I paid $20.00 for the two Road Champs and $15.00 for the two Boley's and the CMW Chiefs car. Five each for the Greenlight and FDNY sets, and between 2.00 and 0.50 for each of the single cars. |

I like the Daron sets, but the other models are really nice too.
