Is that an old GAMA Mercedes truck? or a Conrad? or a Siku? 🙂

Karl, the red fire appliance is a new Wiking model ....

in 1:43rd scale. It is die-cast zinc alloy and derives from a promotional.

The small blue lorry is a Hanomag made in Western Germany by Siku and part of their Super-Serie.

Hope this helps.
