GENERAL INFO

Originally planned as a Regular Wheel model, the 35A Merryweather Fire Engine first box, an F2, shows the model with chrome hubs and black tires. A very small “Superfast” in black indicates that the model is in fact fitted with the new Superfast wheels. Top and bottom sport the Superfast logo. The bottom lettering is LPC.

RARITY

This box is the less common for this model, but not that hard to find.
