What else do you collect
These babies...1/50 Diecast Mobile Cranes...I love em..I have just got a lowloader with transformer and am expecting a ballast carrier in the next week or so.
I collect fire and EMS related books and items.From old helmets and extinguishers to the handouts from Delaware State Fire Schools first ambulance course in 1970.
Other than code 3 i enjoy bike lights(led), and pretty much any fire and ems models i find in 1/64th and 1/87th
Other than my C3 Ambulances - I collect all scales and types of ambulances - wood, plastic, tin - Don't have a 1:1 yet, but soon maybe.
I'd love to see C3 get back to producing Ambulances especially the companies from "EMERGENCY" - Mayfair, Goodhew etc.

EMS90 i agree with you 1 hundred percent, i really miss the code 3 ems section and think it would be awesome if they introuduced that back!
I have some First Gear Fire Trucks&Ambulances
Matchbox and Corgi
Code 3
A long with Code 3 I also collect Corgi Fire Apparatus 1/50 scale die casts. And Franklin Mint 1/32 scale. I also have some Diecast Promtions 1/16 scale fire trucks too. Over all I have over 100 die cast fire trucks in my collection.
Other forms of die-cast: DCP 18-wheelers, and various forms of First Gear trucks, among other things. Also have a few dozen trucks from other manufacturers that don't produce much for the public anymore (not as much as they used to, anyway).
Non-die cast collections: Wrestling tapes and magazines, and a handful of truck-related magazines (Overdrive, Wheels of Time, and Fire Apparatus Journal being the majority figures).
Same price, different breed, 1/24 race cars and ALOT OF THEM. Mostly Gillett Evernham Motorsports and some sheetmetal :) As of last week all 7 cases are full.
I collect model fire trucks, police cars and ambulances in all scales and by dozens of manufacturers from tiny Tomica models to 1:18 scale ambulances. My approximately 90 Code 3 Collectibles make up about 1/4 of my total collection. My total collection including Code 3 is heavy on FDNY and east coast departments. I also collect Books about Fire, EMS and Police.
I have approx.435 pcs and most are code3 but,i do have some other goodies as well....corgi,franklin mint anything i can find in fire apparatus and some local EMS and Police .
I would like to see more volunteer companies...there trucks are all custom tailored ...many different combos as well...colors etc...that is the direction code3 should go in ...more molds of different makers like Maxim,Hahn,Pierce new Seagrave's etc....
I collect the following-
1/18 and 1/24 police cars.
1/53 Tonkin Commercial trucks.
McFarlanes Military figures.
Police, Fire and EMS patches.
I have to say that Code 3 is the biggest of my collection, I do have Fraklin mint, Matchbox, Corgi, I also collect FIre, Police, & EMS Patches. I have been a Code 3 member since 1998!!
Thank God. I'm not the only one! Did you get the Speedway of the South set? I must say it's a buty. My 3 y/o was PEEVED to say the least when he was told it was daddy's toy not his.
I also have started collecting some of the Jada Toys Big Time Muscle and Dub city cars.
In case someone missed my reply to Egon. I also collect the Disney Cars (along with my son). I have also started getting some of the Jada Big Time Muscle and Dub City cars.
Yeah, I caved on the SOTS set as well. Only one of those though Mattel's pricing was - ahem - a bit steep, but nothing in comparision to the current eBay insanity. At present, it's still boxed up in the basement, but some day I'll find room to display the whole shebang.
I have all of the Code 3 fire items except for 3, also Road Champs police cars.
