The one I have been waiting for

Post by JoeO » Thu Oct 31, 2019 4:18 pm

During the 1950s and in to the 1970's FWD tractor-drawn aerials (TDAs) were familiar pieces of fire apparatus responding to fires in the city of Chicago, Illinois. The Chicago Fire Department placed orders for a total of 25 of these rigs in 1949, 1954, and 1956. These TDAs featured 85-foot wooden two-section ladders and full complements of ground ladders. The main section of the ladder was spring-raised. The fly section was extended by a hand crank and roller system. The turntable was also rotated by hand cranks. A full complement of solid beam wood ground ladders included a 50-foot Bangor ladder with supporting tormenter poles; two 38-foot extension ladders; one each 30-,26-, 20-, and 16-foot straight ladders; a 16-, 12-, 10-, and eight-foot roof ladder; two 16-foot pompier ladders; and a 10-foot stripping ladder. The trucks also carried six axes and as many as sixteen pike poles.
  • Production Quantity: 50 each of H&L Co 8, 19, 26, 33, 41 and 53
  • H&L Companies 19 and 33 feature "Chicago Fire Dept." hood graphics. Others feature "C.F.D"
  • Wooden Ladders are replicated using water immersion. Therefore the tones of the "wood" will vary from model to model.
