Please make a R211a on the A line.

Gotcha, my R12 is delayed by just a lil bit because I lost the scissors I had, so It might be finished within 2 weeks instead of a week.

IDK.  But I do remember 402.

Yep. Jumped the bumper block at Tville in 08 and was scrapped around '13. You're correct

I said it once and I’ll say it again, I HATE new buses.

No but seriously, for what?

Hi, I want to do some paper NYC subways and I want some requests! Here are the rules for this thread:

1. Request a New York City subway car (I prefer R-types best) something like this:

Example 1: 'Hey, I would like you to make an R211A on the  line.' 

Example 2: 'Hey, can you make an R38, numbered 4149 on the ?'

Example 3: 'Can you make 2 cars of R42 on the , numbers 4616-17?'

Or however you want.

2. I will make the subway car(s)*

3. I will send pictures through this website in order to call it compete and make you happy.

*Note: It will take a minimum of 2 days and a maximum of 4 days to complete just one subway car.

So far, I have made these subway cars

1. R32 3741, 

2. R40S 4207, 

3. R33ML 8972, 

4. R33WF 9306, 

5 (under construction). R12 5722, , will be finished by Sunday

Put in your requests!!!

* R142 Jerome Av count is at 19 10-car trains with a 5-car spare (Total included for the R142A = 41 10-car trains. 1201-1205 are retired and used as a parts unit.  

* R211 count (Pitkin Yard overall): 4040-4059 -> 2 gangway trains for the  , 4060-4204 -> 145 cars (14 trains) overall for the . However, 4080-4089 are out of service.  

I don't believe this. I agree with the post above. The 142s are only 25 years old max. Why would they start retiring now?

3500: JFK to Eastchester scrap. 3500 was used as a training bus at Zerega, and was replaced with 3698.

3698 and 3700 from JFK have been retired.

I'm crying. That was the pilot of all the 06-07 OGs. 😢

I mean, if they do, maybe around next year, when the base is almost done/done and when OOI is starting to get delivered. That's what I think

Decent,7/10. Also please make a R40S next if you can.

I can try since it's slanted, but I hope it turns out good. Remember, I still got my R33s I gotta finish.

Here it is! It's kinda blurry, and the background is a mess, but I got it! I'll show y'all the R33s that will be finished soon! Rate it from 1-10, or above or below, idc.

A video of R211 4185-9 with 4060-4 coupled. 

Look at Metro CSW's post and then my post above that. I pointed that out yesterday. As he said, it was only to see if the pilots can go with production cars.
