Photomanip: Redbird with R32 style front sign

[lilbluefoxie 820]

No im not David Pirman, I just happened upon his photo on nycsubway. I wanted to see what would it have been like if they ruined the front end of the redbirds like they did on the R32s.

 

 

Keep in mind this isnt real, the MTA never did this to the redbirds, its a photo-manipulation.

Um, how many ways can I say no to that idea?

Dont get me wrong, I cant stand the front end of the R32, but I just wanted to see what it would look like on its cousin the R33/36

The R33/36 isn't really the cousin to the R32. The Redbirds were SLCC products and the R32 is a Budd product.

I meant in looks, not mechanics, they have the similar front end style, and the same 3 space rollsign

Thank goodness they didn't do this...it just doesn't fit in right with the Redbirds mainly because they're painted. It's like seeing an R142A with a rollsign, either at the top or adjacent to the storm door. It just wouldn't look right.

That one doesn't look too good.

I agree, the R32s looked much better with the rollsigns in front

Wood and stainless steel makes a BIG difference.

You should all take a look at the GE R32 and R38 flipdots. That area should be much more appealing even though all the spots for the actual signs are visible but sealed up.
