Matchbox Models.

Matchbox Models were a pocket money toy which over the years have provided some useful additions to the 3mm Scale vehicle fleet.
Shown here was the second rendition of the Fire Engine, in this case a Merryweather on an AEC chassis.
This one I picked up, probably at a Toy Fair as it seemed about the right size. In not too bad original condition, I should pick out the blue light and bell, plus glaze the windows-hopefully all in good time.
For comparison it is shown alongside a 1:100 scale model of my Morris Minor MM-I think the scale is about right so can be used on a 3mm layout.
