Looking good buddy! Loving that top row lol

Can't agree more, with the both of you..

I believe so...

Thank you sir, for you help. Its working yet again Maybe you can also tell me why my Bay Ridge Shuttle R Train Route isn't working:confused:

Awesome man. Thanks alot heres my BVE problem :

How do I take a screenshot? ya its weird.. No route randomizer.

If anyone who has BVE here on the boards, I was wondering if anyone can assist me on some trouble-shooting methods, as to why my BVE won't load. Everytime, I click the shortcut on my start menu , it states in a box with a red X " The System cannot write to the specified device" please help

Lets exchange photos/descriptions of some of your favorite items that relate to transit.. Heres some of mine:

Rumor has it, by 2010, the SIR's R44s are to be replaced ( Either hand me downs from the subway, or ; in actuality new cars) However, rumors were flying around that there was an order for brand new 75' cars for Staten Island; who knows? I can't stand the SIR's R44's, and Ive been riding them for 20+ years..

Weekend service needs an extension; hands down!:eek: Extra Express service, is a great step in the right direction, but, still- 30 minute weekend headways is way too long.... They never get it , do they? MTA SIR has the ridership for at least minimum 20 minute weekend headways, and if they really want to be nice, every 15 minutes. The 30 minute headways will eventually have to go; Staten Island is booming with thousands moving in (with little room, left on the island that is; they should tear down whatever 6 trees are left on the island , and build more houses) but, more people, means more mass transit, which means, MTA , get a step on it, and expand weekend service!:eek:

Yup, Their awesome...hehe :cool:

Hot set right Pablo?! Thanks man! and yeah, Thats all Ive seen so far in H.O. is the R-17. i want to get my hands on some R-68's, whether H.O. or O.

No problem, glad I can assist

Up Until 1953 SIR was connected from Tottenville to St. George, then continued via the North Shore to Arlington Yard, where the Arthur Kill Lift Bridge stands. Technically on a road map, it will show the North Shore Rail Line as still being an active railroad, but in reality its long gone. So , there is no connection between SIR and the Arthur Kill lift Bridge However, since the CSX, Conrail, Norfolk Southern Freight line has recently been re-activated , we can hope to see the North Shore of the Staten Island Railway be reconstructed or, maybe HBLR will take over. Hope this helps:D

Set: R-1/9 Series Producer: MTH - Mikes Train House Road Name: Metropolitan Transportation Authority - New York City Transit Release Date: Mid to Late 2005 The R-1/9 Subway set is THE most detailed subway set on the market today. From the off dark olive Green color, to the pantograph gates, and cross chains across the Storm doors. There is 1 detail however that makes this set stand out from all the others. The Rivets. MTH did an absolutely superb job to add hundreds of rivets on a single car to replicate it, with upmost respect to the Real R-1/9. Whats also unique about the R-1/9 is that, when the cars are coupled to each other, the gap isnt very big at all. It looks awesome when coupled up; the closer the better, and that adds more detail, and realism. The gates are compressed, but the couplers are so short , so it the actual gap is really closed. The Set is eqipped with sound a signage for the Train, running between Washington Heights - 207 St, Manhattan and Fulton St - Euclid Av, Brooklyn. Based off the Announcements, the set takes place , as if it were operating in the 1940s/50s. Here are the announcments: Washington Heights - 207 St - Last Stop 125 St - Harlem - Change here for 'Double A Local (aka the AA) and D Express 59 St - Columbus Circle - Change here for IRT West Side Trains 42 St - Port Authority Bus Depot 34 St - Pennsylvania Station West 4 St - New York University OR change here for A,AA,C,D,E, & F trains. Chambers St -- Hudson Terminal - Jay St - Borough Hall - Change here for the D TRAIN! (culver D) OR The BMT Myrtle Av Line. Broadway Junction- Eastern Parkway- change here for BMT Canarsie & Jamaica Lines. Euclid Av- Last STop On the Premier Line sets ( which is this one, the R-1/9 and both R-32 sets) you can actually change the lit "Exp" 'LOCAL" Signs.Remember how everything between R-1/9's and Pre- R-32 General Overhaul, they had those indicator signs on the top, lit, to display whether the train was going "EXP" or "LOCAL". On these premier line sets, it gives the opportunity to change the sign from EXP to LOCAL; A cool feature I guess. Front Top of the car reads: A WASH HTS 8TH AVE 207TH ST AND A FULTON 8TH AVE EUCLID AV The side rollsigns read: TO-> WASH HTS.-207TH ST --------------------------- FULTON-EUCLID AV. --------------------------- A / 8TH AVE EXPRESS The lead motor car of the set is the famous R-1 100. The car numbers of all 6 cars MTH produced are as follows: 100, 103, 111, 115, 135, and 144 The 4 Car set is equipped with car numbers 100, 115, 135, and 144 The 2 Car Set is equipped with car numbers 103, and 111 The doors on this set DO NOT open; however, MTH had added people inside the train which I feel was an absolute plus. I hope the next sets MTH produces people are added. This is in my top 3 of course: 1) R-32 DAP 2) R-36 Worlds Fair 3) R-1 This set is still out on the market today for a decent price. The price what it was going for in Mid 2005, when it came out ; between $449.00 and $499.99. If you can pick this set up, do it! you wont be dissapointed, believe me! This set rates 10 STARS out of 5 Outstanding performance, intricate detail, amazing sound package, and one hell of a route - the A Line; just turned 75 years old on September 10, 2007! Regards Zach

Lionel is in the process of producing R-27 Cars with automatic opening doors, but they're 2nd thinking it because the price they were asking for was disgusting .lol

How are you Dee, and welcome to New York City Transit Forums! Glad to have you aboard. Now in reguards to the MTH R32 model, the doors open by moving a little black plastic lever under the car itself. Moving it back and forth opens and closes the doors. There is no electrical activation to open any of the doors if that was what you were questioning:confused: However, opening and closing the doors on these cars is a pain in the ass lol. Im just being blunt, heres why The doors are held together by a tiny magnet behind the top tip of the doors; playing with it constantly separates the magnet and then its difficult to then close the gap. Another reason, is that the doors are sitting on ALl PLastic spring tracks, and those can be a pain to keep repairing if they fall off. All in all, the doors on this set ( or at least on mine) are terrible. i used to keep the doors open for realism when I would terminate my R-32 into my station, but for a while now, they stay shut, and I never have any reason to open them. However once the bills are paid off lol , I will add people ( homies) inside most of these sets, so that will probably be the next time I open the doors again. Hope this helps Dee:cool: Zach

Speechless on that R40 :eek: hehe, intriquite details on this one boys!

Thanks Sebbie / Pablo:D

Ya Tracknut, its a great set, but if your looking to buy a subway set, feast your eyes on this::D:D:D:D:D:D:eek: :

No problem

Hey Far Rock Sorry Man, I thought I had a shot or two from SIR with the Ballpark logo. Yeah, St. George Express is listed. This is what the rollsigns appear to have on them: St. George Tottenville Great Kills Huguenot St. George Express Tottenville Express Special BallPark Thats as Far as I know

I believe I took this a day or two after the Blizzard of 1996; New Dorp: August 1998, My home stop - Oakwood Heights: September 1998; Oakwood Heights: New Dorp, either September 1998 or May 1999: *Red Rollsign indicating "St George Express" service

Your right on every part LOL:D

If it was reconstructed, then Im sure we would all love to scope out HBLR running along the Kill Van Kull:D
