Thank you for this excellent photo review, Peter.  The new hydrant is an excellent addition to the fire theme and the set with it in is on my to-by list (hopefully, later this month).  The idea of having the hydrant cover plate etc in a pavement piece shows great attention to detail by Playmobil.  It makes me wonder if they are thinking of bringing out road and pavement sets for scene building.

I do not have them yet but I was hoping to do that with a lot of these

I think those underground 'plugs' look great (and I shouldn't even care)! Thank you Peter for the great pix!

Great review, Peter! I like the design, but I wonder if there is a problem of finding the cover underneath the snow, or if cars block them from access?

Stop parking on the sidewalk and they should be able to find them pretty easy  :lol: sheesh some people

 I guess if there was a big sale on Playmobil i would park anywhere also  ;)

I don't know the practice on the Continent, but in the UK where hydrants are set in the pavement or the roadway there is always a yellow hydrant plate indicating the position.  This will be attached to a lamp post or fence or whatever is available (if necessary a post specially for it) and indicates the distance the hydrant is from the sign and the bore of the water main.  I'll photograph one later today (there are a couple near us) and post it.
