Rick,
Would you refresh as to what kind of rigs, or load pictures?

Thanks,
Larry

Without up loading pictures, say a traditional Chicago, or NYFD engine/ladder truck, black on top, red body, white stripe, and gold lettering. I know these colors mean something, unfortunately I've forgotten.

I Dunno.......... I'm not sure either, but one thing is quite obvious - There are one heck of a lot of different color schemes out there. Here's one of my rigs......

Wow, I was only looking for the meaning of three TRADITIONAL colors red, black and gold. Black is for the Fallen Brothers, Red is for Honor, and I don't know what Gold is supposed to mean, like the gold in gold trim/letters on the side of the truck/engine/rescue/support vehicle. Thanks for the heads up on the Rick Lasky's book, I'll go find it. And Mike, you're right about the red and green, referring to port and starboard respectfully.
