He sold them through his mail order buisness, Toys fo Collectors (TfC).
From drawing documentation, through casting molds, painting, production of accessories, tires and decals, legends of American "fire engines" were created.

The basic model line, which usually has 150-250 pieces, is complemented by special Gold Limited Edition models (marked G) with hand-painted details. These models (50-100 pieces) have certificates.
