I know it isn't NYPD but a NY City Transit armoured truck, saw a very similar NYPD one last night but no photos.

Surprised this thing still exists but there was some similar in a yard on 11th Ave around the 40s on July 4th. Where would it be based?

Cool shot of MALT 4! BTW its a 2002 International with a Saulsbury body.



MALT 7 is 1993 Freightliner with a Saulsbury body. This rig was delivered in the 1990's era paint scheme of a white cab roof, blue body with dual white stripes down the side.



MALT is an acronym for MOBILE AUXILIARY LIGHT TRUCK

It has a lot of Saulsbury characteristics, but there is no external builders plate on it that I could see.

There was actually 2 NYPD vans on this block hooked up. I know theres more to this pic then meets the eye, But a picture is worth a 1000 words.

That is exactly why they have them. The METRA rail in the Chicago area has one that is manned by a driver and Police officer.

Neat models! I wonder why the scuba team lettering was taken off the real vehicle, unless the model is inaccurate, which I find hard to believe with all the detail work that was done to it.
