Fire Engines Photos

Nice all-red fire engine. But I do think this series of Dennis products was a bit let down by the crude, industrial-style grille, which looked as if someone had painted pieces of a farmer's gate silver and glued them to the front end.

Years earlier, Commer had a quite elegant T-grille on their trucks, but I suspect somebody in the Dennis design section had a cricket match to go to.

Hi Andy...yes you're possibly right - however I do know that this ladder did not come with the vehicle when the Listers purchased it so it could be a Bayley or it may be an Ajax !

Bailey or Ajax......I never could tell them apart...unless the name can be seen !!!!

I agree with Barrie, frankly as long as it worked what does it matter?

Hi was this bought from Mark in Stockton onTees?

No this engine was bought in Essex in January 2013 although I did use marks engine as a pattern for the ladder gantries that were missing from ours. And Rick has got it wrong the Ajax came with the engine but like every thing on the engine it looks like its wrong. I will replace with a bailey asap and resubmit pictures.
