Just got this piece from the Fire Bell yesterday. Corgi did a nice job on this one. Some great details. I never knew that Memphis trucks had green running boards but apparently they were a special feature of Memphis rigs.

Here is a pic of a Memphis engine with green running boards. Please note it's a different model Pirsch.

Charlie:

All Memphis rigs had green running boards for many years. I'm not sure the present units have them or not, but I don't think so. I don't know what the reason was for the green boards, but it was a Memphis tradition for many years.

I agree Charlie. This is one of the finest models that Corgi has ever produced. IMHO.
