It could be operated with either a wheel escape ladder (pump escape) or 35 ft extension ladder (major pump).

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast AEC Regent Fire Engine West Ham – 1:76 Scale is a model kit identified by Manufacturer Part Number 76REG005. The model represents a vehicle from the British Railways Late Crest period.

The AEC Regent was originally assembled at the Maudsley Motors Coventry Works with coachwork produced by Park Royal Coachworks in London. It was the first post‑war diesel fire engine, capable of carrying 100 gallons of water and delivering up to 1 000 gallons per minute through its mid‑ship pump. The vehicle could be fitted with either a wheel‑escape ladder (pump escape) or a 35 ft extension ladder (major pump); an optional ladder is offered as an alternative to the wheeled escape.

The die‑cast model reproduces these features in 1:76 scale, including the optional ladder option, and is aimed at collectors of historic British emergency vehicles.
