Boley Fire Trucks
Posted by ChadMichaels on Saturday, June 2, 2012 11:01 PM

Hey guys,

 

I know they are becoming hard to find these days, but does anyone know where I can find two Boley Fire Trucks? Im looking for the flat nose Red and White pumper and Red and white ladder for our clubs layout. I've checked ebay with no luck. Anyone see any at their local hobby shops?

Hmmmm...I would check an online site, such as www.discounttrainsonline.com or www.hobbylinc.com. How sucessful they would be is anyone's guess, but they have fire apparatus advertised.

Crap happens. When it does, stop, take a deep breath, and call the wreck train.

Just a note Walther's is bringing the Boley Ho trucks back, under the Scenemaster name, you might want to check their website, they are supposed to keep issuing more models in the future. So far I think their are 2 fire fighting related vehicles

Good luck,

Jim

Chad:

I'd just keep trying ebay; perhaps you were there on a slow firetruck day - I've seen LOTS; I was even able to get a close approximation of a friend's proto truck! As it was, i bought a delivery truck from a seller & redid it as a Brewer's Retail (Ontario) truck!

Happy hunting!

Should have been clearer in what I'm looking for. I know ebay has tons of them, but its these two that we are looking for..

So what you're looking for are all red Spartan cab pumper and ladder trucks, not the version with the white cab roof.

Either ones are fine. Just as long as there the modern looking Spartan cabs.
