This is may fifth purchase in the classic CFD line of models. I am extremely pleased with the model, its color scheme, wood grain features, and overall detail of the model. It is a perfect model and the value for the attention to detail is superb. I can't wait for the next installment in the classic CFD line of Fire Replicas models.

Beautiful truck. Center piece of my fire truck collection. Wish the scale was 1/48th or 1/43rd, but I'm OK with size of truck. Very impressed and look forward to other vintage fire trucks.

Another great master piece.

Would like to see a Pirsch ladder truck from the 1950's. How about a Pirsch pumper from the 1950"s.

Chicago 1954 tiller

Posted by Mark Nelson on 16th Dec 2019

I purchased Truck 26, and I'm EXTREMELY pleased with the model. ALL of the models from Fire Replicas are outstanding, but the level of detail on this one is incredible. Axes, pike poles, salvage covers, and all the wood ground ladders are visible. Even the license plate is replicated! I am displaying it next to my CFD 1954 Autocar Squad 1, and the two look great together.

very well done

Another great Chicago vintage rig. After doing a feature on Father Tom and his CFD FWD TDA. In Fire Apparatus and Emergency Equipment I had to add this piece. My collection is not growing that much but glad to have this piece.

1954 FWD Chicago FD 85' Tiller Ladder Aerial

Posted by David S. on 13th Dec 2019

Every fire engine collector needs a model that has charm, character, and exudes the corporeal embodiment of a true "work horse" of the fire service. This is the rig that epitomizes all of these elements. A true masterpiece of engineering and production that will gratify the serious collector. A MUST HAVE collectible if ever there was one. Words cannot do justice to elucidate the perfection of this model. A serious collector should not miss the opportunity to acquire the CFD 85' Tiller Truck.

CHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT 1954 FWD 85' TRACTOR-DRAWN AERIAL

Posted by Terrence Gardner on 11th Dec 2019

The 1954 FWD 85' Tractor-Drawn Aerial is a masterpiece of miniature engineering. I was awestruck by the minute attention to detail and the scaling of the accessory equipment. I have not seen an FWD model truck at this scale ever. I normally do not buy models of fire appliances, and I purchased this on a whim. However, I was greatly rewarded with a piece that would be right at home in a museum. Actually come to think of it, it's a museum piece in my home. Stunning work Fire Replicas!
