Picked one up off Ebay....

Compared it to L23 (no comparison at all when your talking quality--23 was FAR better), but one thing that stuck out was the ground ladders in the rear of the truck--they appear inverted and I tried, but could not pry them out like on L23.

So the question is, are your ladders removable or were they put in upside down. I checked the detailed photos on the C3 page and it DOES show them "upside down." Just curious......

I bought E-30 when it came out, and noticed next to Ladder 23, and even the much older E-Ones that there was no comparison, even the patch on the doors was devoid of all detail which was NOT overlooked on the earlier L-23 release. I decided to pass on L-25 after seeing what a lazy release E-30 was.

I won this one on ebay for 45 plus shipping--I have EVERY Boston release from Corgi, C3.....so I really wanted this no matter how bad it was just to keep the continuity of the set but wasn't about to pay 75 for it--esp after buying E30......both rigs were done VERY POORLY and lack detail and accuracy that all the other C3 Boston rigs had.
