    Like every other Fire Replicas model I have purchased another out of the park success! Brings back the happy memories of sitting before our small color TV with our son - now age 57! - watching Roy and John do their thing. Can't wait for the Squad!

    Fire Replicas’s did an outstanding job with E-51 , exceptional quality and packaging. Wish it didn’t take 50 years to get such an amazing display piece. But now we have it

    This is by far the best replica of Engine 51 ever made. It is well worth the price. I just hope they don't flood the market with more.
