Very detailed for it's size. Seems well built, but it is not a toy. Goes good together with other HO fire apparatus that I have. I have 2 of these engines that will be part of a set of apparatus to put in a model fire station.

Very well made, but it seems a little large for HO, next to a 40' boxcar, it seems seems a little large in comparison. Next to an 18 wheeler ,tractor trailer, seems huge ! I know the manufacturer labeled it as HO ,but it is way over sized for an HO layout, we are very strick In regards to comparison size of vehicles on the layout, this is just too big to include,sorry to say. Marked 1:87, but doesn't fit in. I will be very careful going forward with this manufacturer , the only way we could incorporate this fire truck in the layout is to stick it somewhere that doesn't include a vehicle close by to compare it with. Thought I could Trust 1:87 and HO scale label. I was going to buy a 75' ladder truck, by the same manufacturer , that must be way too large!

These have been a old favorite of mine, I am a former fire fighter now trucker and a custom model builder, I have taken these apart and with a little tape, A-line wheelsets, accessory parts from alloy forms and a sheet of decals from micro scale, this rig will be the high light of any layout or diorama, as far as scale, these are close to 1/87, a bit large in the can area, but once you dress these up, they seem to for right in. these can also be altered to mate with pralines tractor drawn ladder trailer providing you scratch build a trailer tiller cab, a very exciting addition to the big Walthers fire station kit.
