FWD Ladder 21.
I'm not from Chicago, I was driving thru Chicago in 1965 . I spotted an FWD aerial with a wood aerial...I didn't realize that Chicago had them, as I'm from Detroit and their last wood aerial was 1935. From all the pics and info i have. Do Old Detroit stuff. They had good looking Foxes, Seagrave's . They had a 1934 ALF tractor pulling a Seagrave wood aerial. Thay also had a 1934 ALF rescue..I believe was a one off.

FWD H&L 46
I purchased this as one of the 72 hour models, as I had my eye on this since the first release. And finally found time to open it. Another great release from Fire Replicas. I love all of the details, like the flashlights under the turn table. This will look great with my Fire Replicas FWD Engine (even if they were not stationed together!). Can't go wrong with classic Chicago!!

A CFD Truck Company Workhorse
It goes without saying the Fire Replicas has once again produced a very authentic "Wooden Stick" aerial ladder for the serious collector. The remarkable detail is everywhere, and one never tires of seeing the rig over and over again in one's collection. Don't miss out on another authentic model of the CFD. The real rigs got the job done, and they are definitely a treasured part of the long history of the CFD's unique apparatus fleet.

1954 FWD 85' tractor and aerial
I purchased this truck on the first go-around over a year ago. It was my first Fire Replicas piece, as I had just found out about FR models. It was the smartest thing I could have done. This is the most magnificent model fire truck that exists.

CFD 1954 FWD TDA
Fabulous model, like all Fire Replicas miniatures, an absolutely exquisite re-creation of the real thing, The company staff is very friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable. Next, give us a Mack C85 (ideally FDNY E236, which protected my neighborhood in the East New York section of Brooklyn) and an LA City or LA County Crown Firecoach.
