HOW ABOUT PHILLY ALF,FREIGHTLINER,SEAGRAVES

I hope that code 3 gives it a rest until at least April of 08. This is getting worse than my model railroading that I do in HO scale. I'm really going to be broke if they come out with a Chicago Spartan Diamondplate.

Maybe just something with some of the old quality. The current models just don't have the detail of the past and I don't think they're worth the price.

I do not recall reading any news from Code 3 that there will only be repaints and renumberings for 2008. I DID read, though, that there will be MANY new toolings in 2008. This sounds promising.

How about something from a Federal Fire Department?

I just bought all of the 1:43 Yat Ming classics. Wow!
I don't anticipate any earth=moving release from Code 3 in 2008, so Yat Ming and Corgi will be getting all of my collecting dollars in the coming year.

Just my opinion here: Corgi and Yat Ming may have some of the same accuracy and detail issues that Code 3 has, but their releases, though fewer, are just more interesting. Code 3 will give us yet another Pierce/Seagrave/Sutphen/Ferrara box, or FDNY repaint.
If that's their formula and it works for them and the collectors who buy them, it's all good.

My wish for Code 3 is that they get back to the things that made them so exciting to so many collectors in the first place:

Anticipation of a new release each quarter (one excellent one would be better than three cloned mediocrities);

An interactive collector's forum, minus the dimwits who fouled the last one;

Responsive customer service (not my experience, but a big issue with many others apparently);

More actual events, like the Salute to Heroes Day in L.A.; or Code 3 Days at regional retailers. Collectors like to congregate at these things, circumstances permitting. Others participate from afar (like me) through the thoughtfulness of other collectors (like Mike Adams). Most of us just like to read about the event on Code 3's board.

Sorry in advance if this read like a Code 3 bash, it's not intended to be.

Just saw Joe in Hudson's post. FDNY did indeed run some good looking FMC wooden TDA's in the late 50's.
I'd say we have a better chance of seeing something like that from Corgi.

Anything from ohio.

Steve....I think you meant FWD. FDNY purchased 25 open cab FWD TDA's with wooden 75' sticks in 1955. These were the last wooden aerials purchased by FDNY.

Location: GEORGIA

You are correct Paul, they were indeed FWD's. Nice looking rigs, too. Thanks for the heads-up!

I want HAHNS and more HAHNS

Location: Md.

I'd like to see a couple of different helicopters. The Sikorsky FIREHAWK would be a real collectors peice. A Chinook with a bambi bucket.
A couple fireplanes would intersting too.
