Quite likely.

Have the TK cars gone away from being wagons?

I'm guessing he means the TK vehicle lightbars, more of a box shape.

Aren't the TK lightbars more like the SJA Land Cruiser bars...Black Siren/PA box in the middle rather than a white light?

I've had a look at a few pics that I have of the Landcruiser, and its - Red Light bar (left) - Silver Siren/PA (centre) and Blue Light bar (right)

Its a USA code3 excaliber lightbar

Rotators on top
Bottom deck can be optioned up with LED's

Still cheaper than an all LED lightbar from hazard.

that is interesting. Its strange seeing a cross between LED and normal,, and a LED one is more expensive? I wouldn't have thought it considering the bulbs and moving parts you need, very interesting to know ty.

Spent some time driving along behind TE204 (pictured above) this morning. A very nice looking unit with the body upgrade and the TE markings. The new FG Falcon is a bit "chunkier" than the BF models but not as "bulky" looking as the VE Commodore. Had an umarked silver FG Falcon XR6 Traffic car come up behind, then pass me yesterday and even without the signage it stood out. As a quick visual reference the new FG Falcon, unlike previous models, has a "wavy" curve along the bottom of the tail light assembly (see pic above). From the front the headlight assembly also has a "wavy" bottom edge and the grill is horizontal slats, not the previous "honeycomb".

Thanks mate, I might be able to recognise one now

Is the row of little lights on the old (read original style sprinter) SJA ambulances lightbars LEDs?
