A real piece of CFD History
Excellent reproduction of the 'Historic' Squads. The workmanship is exquisite. My memory as a very young school boy in the early 1960's was Squad 9 located on the Southside of Chicago at Engine 116's quarters located then at 5259 S. Wood St., these Squads company reproductions bring back the days of my childhood. Unfortunately I missed out on the purchase of the Squad 9 model when offered, but this model serves well. Keep up the GREAT work Fire Replicas!

BEAUTIFUL!
Absolutely beautiful replica!! The attention to detail is great! I wish I was much smaller so I could ride on this thing! LOL!! I have mine sitting on a shelf along with a photo of the actual rig. Excellent and high quality workmanship! Keep up the great work! P.S. A Chicago FWD tillered wooden aerial replica would be phenomenal!!

A Chicago gem in the history books.
I received the model as noted. On time, quality superb, with two exceptions. Now I'm getting picky. Some pictures show the "Stokes" basket attached, when I tried to do that with the tape straps, it fell off within one day. I will say, not a major issue. The (2) two extra deluge pipes had now where to go as there were no pre-drilled holes for them and (1) handle broke off. (I do know that these collector pieces are fragile.) I was able to attach the "Stokes" basket as shown in one of the photos by fabricating 2 "S" hook from a strand of # 16 electrical wire. It will work well. Again, a great product. I am proud to own one of your models and be able to speak with on the phone. keep up the good work.

CFD Squad 4
I received my CFD Squad 4 a few weeks ago, and was blown away with the craftsmanship and detail on this piece. From the way it was packaged to the handwritten thank you letter in the box, I was very impressed.

Museum Grade Piece
Beautifully detailed piece of the highest quality. The attention to detail and finish is superb. The inclusion of a dust free case with brass plate is a great touch.

The squad that I saw the most
I lived in thelr district and witnessed them at work or responding to calls. They were slow but impressive. At one call they were late. As the other fireman were picking up one called out"Squad 4 made it". As a kid I thought that was funny. Thanks for the model. I love the Aurora Borealis. Always my favorite warning light.
