30YearsofLegos Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I am new to the forums. I have my legos from when I was a kid. Many of these sets are 30 years old now. I am trying to identify this fire truck. I have no idea to its age. I have spent a lot of time trying to find it and can't. I am aware that the stickers may not be original and may have been added later. Any guidance or coaching on how I can identify it? Sorry if this post is misplaced. It appears I can only add one picture due to file size. Appreciate any help. Thanks. Another picture. Quote
iammac Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I believe this fire truck is a MOC (my own creation.) I don't think this is "official" at all. Consider that Lego has rarely (if ever) used two different kinds of wheels in a new set. In case of a tie, check out this list: Hope this helps! Quote
30YearsofLegos Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 Thanks. It does appear to be similar in graphic and wheels (at least the back wheels) to the 6382-1 Fire Station http://brickset.com/sets/6382-1/Fire-Station I suppose it is possible that I took parts from that kit and made this. I have more graphics than this kit has though (I have 3 - two on the fire truck and another that is on red pieces similar to shown on the picture). Did they sell the stickers? 6385-1 has a white line around the graphic so it seems that is out of the running. http://brickset.com/sets/6385-1/Fire-House-I Quote
SollX Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 that is no an official model. i see there is a red 9V brick. i wonder what set thats from Quote
Brickwolf Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 It looks like the fire truck from page 24 of idea book 260: http://www.peeron.com/scans/260-1/24 Quote
L@go Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 It looks like the fire truck from page 24 of idea book 260: http://www.peeron.com/scans/260-1/24 My thoughts exactly. My guess is that you had the book, was inspired by that truck and tried to build it with the pieces you had. And the book had a sheet with those stickers on it, so that's most likely where they came from, not from set 6480. That also means it's not a 9V battery box - it's most likely just built from bricks. I did the same :) Quote
30YearsofLegos Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 Thanks everyone. Seems you all are correct that it is a MOC. Appreciate the help and insight! Quote
