GENERAL INFO

Following the 9A Fire Engine, a second larger version was made and new boxes were made. The first one features a very small red model, with background and light trees. The ladder wheel is red and tires are black. The size is 1 and the sub-type is B2, which are the same as the second box that reuses the 9A box,

A final box, a B3 in size 3 and blue rectangle, was issued and show a much larger model, all yellow wheels and hubs, and a black ladder wheel. Numbers are taller.

RARITY

Difficult to identify an actual rarer box, but the very small model B2 box seems a bit harder to find.
