What about a new TDA from F.D.N.Y. ???

I agree: 2008 was NOT inspiring. Newsletters getting longer and longer, only containing stories. But I want to increase my Fire fighting vehicle collection and not my library. And to my opinion a collection that shows the different vehicles for different purposes is worth more than a collection of colurful variations of one and the same pumper! So what about new tools for a new TDA from F.D.N.Y.?

How about a NEW tda from somewhere other then FDNY, lets say like; Baltimore, D.C , L.A , Sommervill M.A, Boston , Eden P.A..........Ect.  How bout it code 3 - step up and give the collector what we want

I AM CONFUSED IS THERE A FDNY ENGINE 13 AND IF SO WHAT YEAR IS THE RIG FROM?

I'm all for new TDA's, I'd like to see some FDNY tillers, maybe LA City and County, and also maybe some Detroit tillers as well.  I've seen some nice 2001 ALF/LTI 100' TDA's and 2001 Pierce 100' TDA's from Detroit.  Perhaps Code 3 could even do a "Then & Now" set of Detroit's Ladder 13.  The Ladder 13 I remember from growing up and going to the station with my father was a 1977 ALF 100' tiller that was in front line service until it was replaced by a 2003 Pierce rear mount 100' aerial (this rig was just recently destroyed on March 1 when the idiot driving it parked the rig on train tracks which got hit by an Amtrak commuter train shortly thereafter.  Luckily no firefighters were injured.)

I've attached a pic of Detroit's old '77 ALF tiller Ladder 13.  This pic was taken on 7/28/1999.  I remember Ladder 13 originally having a single clear beacon on the roof from when I used to go to their quarters and not that goofy looking lightbar.

This really needs to be produced. Great company graphics. The Enigine 9 is a must as well.

Hi

i think the TDA mold needs a big overhaul to fit the new FDNY tillers... that again means a buck load of tooling dollars, that we all know isen´t there... Now we are getting a tiller, in the ALF shape... that will be great....
