APPARATUS LINE download pdf
October 16, 2008
Chicago, Illinois, USA — iHobby Expo attendees experienced a brand-new, museum-quality fire apparatus
die-cast line when visiting b2bReplicas in booth 2240. This new line is manufactured by TWH Collectibles
and will be distributed in the U.S. exclusively by b2bReplicas. The first piece is a Pierce® Quantum®
Pumper truck for Kern County and retails for $190. Every model that is produced by TWH is as close to
the exact specifications as possible to the original truck. If it's metal on the truck, it's metal on the model
with very few exceptions.
Functions and features of the 1/50 scale Pierce® Quantum® Pumper include details such as an opening
cab that reveals a detailed diesel engine and transmission, opening hose crosslay doors, steerable front
wheels, functioning suspension, detailed inner cab, realistic hose and wire placement, accurate gauge
panel with fills and discharges, a photoetched grill, and much, much more. A detailed spec sheet with all
available functions and features is available. This much accurate detail on an 8" model is unheard of in
this industry and truly exciting news.
