Manufacturer description

139 Merryweathers were built on AEC Regent chassis between 1950 and 1956. Of the total, 111 were dual-purpose fire engines, equipped to carry wheeled escape for use in fighting large fires - upon which we have based our model - or supplied with extension ladders to combat small fires. The fire brigades usually purchased the vehicles in pairs comprising both options. With this in mind, as an added extra, look out for the spare extension ladders that we're enclosing in the packs.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Glamorgan Fire Service Regent Fire Engine – 1:76 scale.
Manufacturer part number: 76REG004.
The model represents the British Railways Late Crest period.

The prototype was one of 139 Merryweathers built on an AEC Regent chassis between 1950 and 1956. Of these, 111 were dual‑purpose fire engines fitted with a wheeled escape to tackle large fires, which is the configuration reproduced in this die‑cast model. The remaining vehicles were supplied with extension ladders for smaller incidents; fire brigades typically bought the two variants as a pair. A spare set of extension ladders is included in the packaging as an extra accessory.
