Matchbox Ambulance

In a major emergency, where there is a real or potential possibility of injuries often large numbers of ambulances may be dispatched.
Matchbox has made a lot of different types of paramedic vehicles.
I often buy just about all of them that I can find.
At the scene of a major incident there can be dozens of them present.
This is a big truck in real life.
This is a very nicely detailed vehicle.

EV Car


Hot Wheels Roger Dodger.
 
 

It is supposed to be an EV. 

It seems to have a lot of engine for an EV.
But I don't know that much about automotive propulsion.
My plan is to use the car for engine parts.
I am doing some conversion work and needed and engine.
This seems a reasonable choice for that.
I am actually harvesting engines for a couple car conversions.
This is one of two cars, the other one is a dragster that is losing it's engines.
Shown here with a 1/72nd scale henchman for size.

Evil Oupost

I am building police forces and spy agencies, and their evil counterparts.
So unusual vehicles like this one can be helpful.
I suspect it will occupy the lair of some evil overlord.
Or it might be part of a top secret government labratory.
Nice undercarriage.
Guards and their vehicles at a remote outpost.
Everyone is armed.
Even a light tank is on hand.

Foam Truck

Evil henchmen with their HISS tank.
They also have this vehicle, the Matchbox Hardnose.
It is an airport rescue vehicle, a fire truck designed to spray foam on burning planes.
Matchbox has issued it several times in a bunch of versions.
This on is an InGen vehicle.
It has tanks in the center and a nozzle on the front top.
Presumably the truck is designed to spray stuff and it does not have to be airport fire suppression foam.
So maybe soap and water to wash the dirty dinosaurs.
Or maybe other chemicals of a more nefarious nature.
