EE Broadway Local Posted May 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2010 This Lionel O Gauge four car TA R16 subway set in MTA silver and blue is marked 70(EE) Broadway Local and features opening doors and announcements of true-to-life stops along the EE which ran from 71st Avenue-Continental Avenue to Whitehall, weekdays, normal hours from Monday November 27, 1967 to Friday August 27, 1976. Maybe a bit pricey at $799.99 (a two car add-on set to make a six car 70(EE) train is offered for $399.99) but the photos are beautiful and the memories of the real 70(EE) are priceless.

Brighton Local Posted May 21, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 21, 2010 I want it, but there is no way in hell I will spend $1,000.00 for 6 Cars. The most Ill spend is like 200.00 just for the add ons. Thats it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregorygrice Posted May 21, 2010 Share #3 Posted May 21, 2010 Those cars look hot! But the price, not so much:tdown: Does Lionel know what the economy is like right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted May 21, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 21, 2010 I want it, but there is no way in hell I will $1,000.00 for 6 Cars. The most Ill spend is like 200.00 just for the add ons. Thats it... Agreed. Even $200 for one car [even NYCT cars] is just too much for my budget. I'd just pay $60~ for a polar express coach car add on.

AA 8th Avenue Posted May 21, 2010 Share #6 Posted May 21, 2010 trainworld is the cheaper bet but they are gonna be just like the R27 and R30 sets justt with the circle windows and paint job. I will still cave in and get it. i will have every single last subway set. I swear it! I love my trains.. Just trying finish up my NJ transit comet set. By the way MTH also is offering an F40PH in NJ trtansit colors which I will splurge on. Look it up Railking.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan05979 Posted May 22, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 22, 2010 I would get a 2 car set and display them but I look for the bargains on ebay 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted May 22, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 22, 2010 In MTH 2010, Volume 2 I back ordered, the 2 R142 Subway Cars on the Flat Cars, as well as the Alco S-2 Staten Island Diesel Loco. I bought the LiOnel R-27 (QT) (First Lionel Subway Set )off ebay for 256.00 for 4 cars! Not bad considering everybody had it for 584.00 and over, but of course the door problems started. This is a beautiful looking set and so is the previous one that didn't come out yet ( The Red-Robin R-27 Train) but Lionel loves to produces slamming looking sets with the crappiest technology for the opening doors, and that's where a lot of Model Transit guys are going to say 'no'. If I get this set, it will be for 400.00 or under.... That's it.. Same for the add-on, maximum Ill pay is 180-200.00. Ill stick with MTH's sets Lionel... Sorry.

R10 2952 Posted May 22, 2010 Share #9 Posted May 22, 2010 Lionel's products might have quality, but they are too expensive. This is why I have much contempt for the company. They gouge prices too frequently and by too much. But they will learn their lesson... ....once they're filing for bankruptcy protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that r-27 on order at trainworld, I guess sometime in december there comming. $256 for the 4 car set is a steal, thats why I love ebay sometimes you get guys in there trying to get over and then you get guys on there who just want to get rid of stuff and have low prices. Theres a dude on ebay right now trying to sell a an worlds fair r-36 8 car set for $1200, thats very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share #16 Posted June 21, 2010 That is true. Looking at the enlargement images of the four-car set and the two-car add-on set, the trucks and undersides of the R16 70(EE) set are very detailed. Under Features, the trucks are listed as die cast metal. The dual motors are maintenance-free and feature momentum flywheels. The front and rear 70(EE) sign and side roll signs are lighted as are the marker lights. Each Standard O Gauge R16 subway car is fifteen inches long and a six car train is ninety inches long. O-36 is the minimum curve for these cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
