Manitowoc, Wisconsin, USA - TWH Collectibles, in partnership with FirePrograms Software, announced today the release of the 1:50 scale FirePrograms Software diecast model of the Seagrave Tractor-Drawn Aerial (TDA) with Marauder II Chassis. The TDA is the first in a series of promotional models produced exclusively for FirePrograms.
“We are extremely pleased with the design of the 2010 FirePrograms Tractor-Drawn Aerial. With its distinctive black and gold FirePrograms insignias combined with its ultra low seventy-five piece production volume, we believe this will become an important collector item for our fire service customers and software users. We’re looking forward to this TDA debut as the start of the FirePrograms TWH Collectibles Emergency Vehicle series,” said Gary Ewers, President of FirePrograms Software.
Functions and features of each FirePrograms TDA model include a tilting cab revealing a detailed engine and transmission, extendable four section diecast ladder with extending waterway, functional outriggers, 180 degree tractor arc, accurate front bumper design, photoetch steps, diamond plate decking, accurate storage compartment design and detailed Marauder II design with all the features. Each model includes a certificate of authenticity.
“The FirePrograms TDA is a great example of the effective use of a replica for brand building,” said Cortney Krueger, Marketing Communications Manager for TWH Collectibles. “We’re excited about our continued partnership to bring first class branding to museum class replicas.”
