Hi, I have these bits & pieces that I need identifying, they came with old firefighter related stuff, so I assume they're from those, but no idea if I'm correct in my assumption or what exactly they are.

those connect to the firefighters' hoses...

Thank you Tahra! :heart:
I could have sworn I'd looked for them before & came up short, but either I got mixed up & didn't or did a poor excuse of a search (& only looked for set 3403, which is what I'd assumed they'd came from, & then forgot to cast the net wider :P ).

The long, thin, grey "metal" piece is the hose nozzle from the old 3525 and 3781 fire engines. If you don't want these parts, I'll gladly pay you you take them off our hands.

Sorry Playmofire! I'm not sure the guys (my classic klickys) will forgive me if I let these go. :lol: I don't have any hoses, but am hoping I can get some (no idea if the parts service has them, haven't checked yet).

A couple of years ago I thought it would be easier to just get some "unofficial" hoses... but came up empty.. I have ancient... thinks to roll the hoses on? And I wanted to buy a few meters of it, but nothing :(

Gah! That sucks! Thanks for the info though. I have a bunch of spools for the hoses to go on too. I hope I can find an alternative, but not feeling positive about it if you haven't! :-\ If I find anything suitable I'll let you know.
Playmofire, have you ever found any alternative things to use for hoses?

I am hoping a "fire expert" might have sorted that.. :)
When it came to the spheres for the new lame curling things, grahamb knew EXACTLY what to look for! My new colorful curling things (stones?) were properly weighted. :)

I have ordered hose fairly recently from DS but the hose now comes in short lengths joined by thin plastic conectors. This means that the hose is more flexible when using it and doesn't take on a more or less permanent kink after it's been rolled up for some time. It rolls up on the reels OK too.
BUT, see my post below!

See my post above. No, ignore that post, there seem to be different hose parts for different sets. I'll do a check and post part numbers tomorrow.
I'm glad that the firefighters have a place in your collection. The little classic turntable ladder is a favourite of mine.

Brilliant, thanks so much!
I have such a soft spot for the old construction & rescue sets, they're so fun! Is the one you referring to 3236? The guys don't have a fire engine & I'm not sure I'll allow them anything that big (yes, I'm mean) so they'll just have to manage with buckets, ladders & hoses. I'm going to have to keep them away from viewing any of your posts. ;)

:lol: The classic guys love you right now.. If only I had ALL the space & ALL the ££, but I don't (space is definitely an issue) but thank you for the offer to hook the guys up! :heart: If I end up with protesting kllckies I know who to blame! ;)

So what equipment do they have?

Here's the info on hoses available from DS.
30214793 Hose connector, small white, 20p
30673992 3 lengths, white hose, 150mm, £1.80
30808313 white hose 170mm, 20p
30808833 white hose, 115mm, 15p
30883690 white hose, 60cm 50p
30892072 35cm white hose, 35p
30892930 50cm white hose, 45p
30894680 150mm white hose, 20p
30898940 20cm white hose, 20p
As you can see, there seems little logic in prices at times.
The old style hose nozzle originally took solid hose, but it should be OK with the modern tubular hose or with one of the white connectors.
The white hose may need a connector to attach it to the fire hydrant as that, too, was designed for solid hose.
For your fire extinguishers, there is black hose, 30816420, 20p
