FDNY Ferrara Rear Mount Ladder scale model assembly pictures

Producing a replica of a Ferrara Rear Mount 100' Ladder that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, is a painstaking process. Over 12 months, each of the hundreds of intricately detailed parts are designed, cast or fabricated, painted, decorated, and trimmed...then organized in small bins, ready for assembly. There is no substitute for the laborious tasks that each of the 35 skilled men and women perform. It is a sight to see as each team member patiently adheres each part to another, consistently analyzing the end result. As you scroll down the assembly pictures, take notice of the parts on each workstation and you will gain a greater appreciation for the process. And don't forget to add this FDNY Ladder to your collection.

    FDNY L165, 2011 Ferrara 100' Heavy Duty Aerial Ladder.

    Posted by Martin MacKinnon on 11th Jan 2025

    "The Sleepless Knights of Queens" is a cool nickname that uses the homonym: "Knights" in place of the expected: "Nights". It implies that the knights in turnout gear who go to the aid of citizens in distress, day or night, must be kept busy. Yosemite Sam is a real dynamo & the use of his image in a firefighter's helmet as the firehouse mascot further reinforces the implication that the Engine 317 & Ladder 165 crews must run out of a busy firehouse. I'm really pleased with the addition of FDNY L165 to my collection. It's my first Ferrara ladder from Fire Replicas. It has several interesting pieces of equipment not typically found on a lot of the other Ferrara ladder trucks that Fire Replicas has produced for the FDNY. The advertised: "Custom arrangement of under ladder accessories" is borne out by the presence of an orange stokes basket, short metal ground ladder, orange life ring with white stripes, roll of hose, & traffic cones. "Sleepless Knights" on the hydraulic aerial ladder pistons & on the Mother-In-Law doors add more custom L165 details as well as the big old Federal Q siren on the front bumper. There's nothing like holding a Fire Replicas model in your hands ,so that you can manipulate the model in its display case to get the best angle for viewing all the details that are present, but not readily apparent.
