This Oxford Diecast Associated Equipment Company Mercury Turntable Ladder London Fire Brigade Fire Engine is a detailed OO scale model representing a classic British firefighting appliance from the mid‑20th century. The AEC Mercury Turntable Ladder was introduced in the 1950s and remained in production into the late 1960s, serving fire brigades with its long aluminium ladder and robust design. The model is finished in traditional red and silver‑grey livery with period‑correct detailing, including a 100‑foot ladder, decorative crests, and finely modelled equipment features. This piece adds historical and visual interest to emergency service collections, roadside scenes, and British layout dioramas.
