I looked back through my picture archives and found pictures of both CLP1 (Perth) and CLP2 (Freo). Now that i have seen them together they are quite different. So everybody join me in a game of "Spot the Difference". How many can we find?? Let's be creative


CLP1 (Perth)


CLP2 (Freo)



To get the ball rolling i'll give you hints
Striping...
Wheels...
Cab...
Model...

ooo oooo Magnetic sticker on Perth CLP that says "Perth CLP" is not on the Freo CLP

CLP1 has two siren speakers as opposed to CLP2's one.

Second go Perth CLP has a Red set of beacons above the driver and Blue above the passenger
Fremantle has blue above the driver and red above the passenger.

Ive spotted one - The thread title says FESA when it should be FRS

Freo CLP is newer than Perth's CLP

Perth CLP is loonger than Freo's CLP

Both have different colours of red

One is based in freo the other in perth

perth CLP has those yellow visability thingies whereas Freo Doesnt

Can I do on?

Perth CLP has LED lights on the front where Freo CLP has incandescent red and blue lights on the front.

The Red/White striping on the boom

The wheels

The red beacon on the very back on one of them

the access to the ladder on perth is before the rear wheels, while its in between the rear wheels on freo.

the stabliser rams are in different positions.

feo has one big locker, while perth has two small lockers.

perth has fire on the frount and freo does not

perth number plate is yellow and black, while freo is white and blue. lol

when you enter the driver door you have to take two steps and NOt three any more

I rest my case.

The differences in the cab chassis are very easy to identify, as most of you would have noticed. The main difference of course being the much older model of CLP1 - which also received a visibility upgrade a couple of years ago, so has the yellow decals. CLP2 is a shorter, newer model, with the older decals.

I personally think it's really easy to spot the difference if you can see the cab. The fun comes when you can only see the boom or the platform.

You'll notice on CLP2 that the boom end and tip of the fixed ladder section (ie before the bend in the boom) has red and white stripes, while CLP1 is just white.

At the base of the boom, there is an angled section on CLP1, where CLP 2 is straight at the bottom.

Some of the more particular differences can be spotted on the cage/platform and sections of boom. My PC is having Power Supply issues at the moment, so I can't get the images to show this.

CLP1 has fire fire on the grill

CLP has SCANIA

Actually they both have SCANIA written on the grill

OK, so PC is still not working, but memory is. Remembered I have some already in a gallery...

If you look at this thread from the Shopping Centre fire, you can see a similar view of Freo CLP (CLP2).

In the image below is Perth CLP (CLP1). Now, I hadn't actually pinpointed the differences previously, but could tell the newer Freo CLP. If you look at the pic of Freo CLP, you can see an extra 'bit' (electrics I think) on the side of the Platform, as well as the bottom left of the side, having a small angled piece, where on CLP1, this piece is squared against the main frame of the platform. There are some other slighlty different pieces of equipment between the two, and slightly different placements, but can't find the right pics to show this.

Add to that, the size of the red stripes/style of striping is different around the bottom of the platform
