Production Details:
Oxford Diecast Coventry Climax Pump - Red. The Coventry Climax Pump
Trailers, used ostensibly during WWII, were portable and were towed behind
any suitable car or lorry fitted with a hitch. In this way, they were able
to get to confined spaces that larger fire appliances could not reach. Many
vehicles were especially fitted with a tow hook, so they could be called
upon in an emergency to tow the pumps. The pump trailers proved a great
asset to fire brigades, especially during the Blitz on many of Britain's
cities. Even after the war, the pump trailers found their way onto farms and
market gardens, where they were used for irrigation purposes. (OO Gauge /
1:76 Scale)
