VINTAGE FDNY RIG PHOTOS.

[TRAC@1854]

There is a growing and significant trend for new apparatus to be purchased solid red with no dual colors (eg white over red cabs). Personally I would like to see FDNY go retro with all red rigs and the current striping scheme. Maybe someone who is good with photoshop can whip us up a few renditions

I agree with you that a full red apparatus would look amazing. Let's take it a bit further and make the boom on all TLs red too. I know that's a bit much

It would be asking too much but some gold leaf letters (FDNY) and company numbers would be great. Just sayin' because it wont happen.

I think the last gold leaf I saw on a city rig was ladder 119 when they had the Sutphen.

I must say I'm not a fan of the FD NY under each headlight. Looks cheesy to me

I believe Engine 88 in the Bronx has maintained the tradition of gold leaf numbers.
