  17. I was one of two that worked with Code 3 on the FDNY Models. I was with Code 3 since 1997 and it was a great ride. This past Wednesday Funrise in formed me that Code 3 has ceased its operation. September they were supposed to release FDNY Engine 234, followed by Ladder 35 and then Ladder 38's Seagrave rearmount and finish up the year with Engine 88. But with the way the economy is and the way these models were selling, Matrix thought it was best to close down Code 3. Its a shame because over the years Code 3 produced a great product but the last four years shabby models were released over our objections. 2011 we started to see a turn around. During those four years quite a few of these models that were released were flops. The biggest flop which should have been the biggest seller was the 900 Series ALF TDA. We had knowledgeable people in place with blueprints and still there were many mistakes on both the open and closed cab versions. With the many mistakes, Code 3 closed down production on this model and took a huge loss. I enjoyed my years with Code 3 and maybe our paths will cross again in the future.
