Last for Carman, which is located in Schenectady County, is their antique ALF pumper. Unfortuantely, I do not have a shot of their old ladder. I would love to see it, if anyone does.

Thanks that Pierce ladder is the replacement for the Maxim that my department bought from them.here is a pic of it lettered for us it is ex Carman Trk-132.Hoping someone has a pic of it lettered for them.
Just FYI, that rig has been retired for a few years now. Will be replaced in the next month or two with their new 2006 ALF 100' midmount quint (truck is at the dealer right now). Painted Springfield Maroon to match their 2002 ALF Rescue-Pumper (pictured below).

Yup, exactly the same color. That's where the guys got the idea from, actually. They were down there a few years ago, saw and liked the Sutphens Springfield had in the maroon with yellow stripe, and had their ALF rescue-pumper painted that way.
New York has some fine trucks.They'll make good hand me downs to us down the road.I like that Rockland color, kinda looks like the new ALFs that San Francisco has.
