I took these photos while attending a Roco Rope Resuce class back around 1990. From what I've heard the Engine served with Yonkers. Upon further exam I see that the second photo posted by TR54 is mine, just backwards. The first photo above of Ladder 7 is from Thomas Wanstall's (RIP) and George Hall's (RIP) book "Fire! At War with the Red Devil", published in 1989.

NJMedic,

Cool photos.... The Engine I was thinking of was a Red Mack CF.

I don't even remember this Yellow Mack. WOW!

The Mack CF I think was a Fire Training Center Engine?

Looked like an old FDNY Mack.

That Mack CF was a Yonkers Engine. It was originally red.

IIRC, the smoke house was in the back by the High rise building. then the oil pit, then the propane tree. I don't remember if there was anything else in between the oil pit and the main building. You had the bay where L-7 and another rig were kept. That was also the building where Elmsford used to do search drills during explorer day and where 60 Control was.

The mack c model [yellow] orignally red was a yonkers rig. the mack cf [red] did come from pelham, they got it from F.D.N.Y. for a $1 and used it till a new one came in then it was sent to the training center. :blink:
