    Los Angeles County Engine 51, 1973 WLF.

    Posted by Martin MacKinnon on 29th Aug 2022

    This is very cool! It's the only Fire Replicas model in my collection that I've seen in person. I saw it while it was in service in Yosemite Village (Mariposa County). Great details, including a wooden folding attic ladder. I've seen lots of aluminum examples, but I've never noticed any wooden ones. The yellow air packs mounted on the front of the body are a nice addition & add a great splash of colour, along with the smoke ejector. The WLF Ambassador cab was one of the earliest wide cab designs. Not quite full width, but close. Brings back fond memories of watching: "Emergency" on TV in the 70s. Can't you almost hear the Station 51 tones going off in the background?

    This is another great fire replicas model. Fire Replicas hit it out of the park with this one. Highly detailed and identical replica of the actual pumper used in the TV Show Emergency. This is a must have for any Emergency fan. It is worth every penny.. Looking forward to the Crown piece.
