Product Description
This AEC Mercury Turntable Ladder from the 1950-1960s era comes from Edinburgh. Between the launch of the Mercury TL in 1957 to the end of production in the late 1960s, almost 200 were built and over half of these came with extending Merryweather 100 ft ladders, as reproduced on this latest release, where they extend along the whole length of the appliance and beyond.
Decorated in the traditional red and silver colour scheme and registered RFS 132, the model detail includes the Merryweather badge integrated into the radiator grille and the Merryweather wording in red and silver along the back beneath the number plate. Even more intricate detail is contained in the colourful South Eastern Fire Brigade crest, incorporating two Scottish thistles, which is printed on the cab doors.
