MainStreetBound7 Posted January 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 14, 2011 I've been thinking lately that what if the ordered cars in the future that had the same design such as the R27/30. I guess it could be possible to install modern technology's such as automated announcements and FINDS in them. Because personally I miss that classic design. Please don't troll on this thread please....thats the last thing we need -_____-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice how every subway car built from 1948 to 1967 virtually looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't troll on this thread please....thats the last thing we need -_____-. I can sympathize with you but from the looks of it that's gonna be a longshot. However, if the future NTTs had a resemblance like the interiors of the R110s then that would be a sight to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Local Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 14, 2011 Also, I don't think we will ever see pantograph gates on future train designs. It seems they will have the spring chains instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted January 14, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 14, 2011 That's the only thing I like about the NTTs. Those pantograph gates look awful on end cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted January 14, 2011 Share #8 Posted January 14, 2011 That's the only thing I like about the NTTs. Those pantograph gates look awful on end cars. I thought they were awesome. The slants sported them well :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova RTS 9147 Posted January 14, 2011 Share #9 Posted January 14, 2011 I thought they were awesome. The slants sported them well :cool: The R10s-R38s and R40 slants wore them very well. The redbirds especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1103 Posted January 15, 2011 Share #14 Posted January 15, 2011 I'm all for it....want the white with blue racing stripes back also.:tup: WERRRD. Also the Redbird R30's, that was my favorite paint scheme they ever had. On subject = I always liked how the older cars looked, so I'd agree with ya. But the 'TA never changes it's mind with this kind of stuff. The only NTT I agree with is the R-110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted January 25, 2011 Share #16 Posted January 25, 2011 What an R160B subway car it was! The interior was a robin's egg blue. The seats were a cream-colored rattan with blue stripes. They were a combination longitudinal and transverse and looked comfortable to sit on. People that were standing in this R160B subway car were holding on to straps attached to a pole. Outside, it looked like an R160B subway car except on the front were two small rectangles. One was lit red and said "EXP". Over the front door, which had a round window, was a small square which read "Q" and under the Q "BRIGHTON". Next to this was a small rectangle which read "Coney Island" with Coney over Island. As the train (all ten cars looked the same) approached 34th Street-Herald Square, the C/R came on saying "Dis is 34th Street-Herald Square. Transfer available to the IND. ( and trains. Dis is a to Coney Island via Brighton. Watcha closin' doors!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted January 25, 2011 Share #17 Posted January 25, 2011 I've seen that the subway cars R-44 and later models for the B Division have slightly bent sides, even the R-143s and R-160s despite the fact they are 60 feet long. The slightly bent sides of the train somehow make the trains feel less roomier than the older 60 foot trains such as the R-32s and R-40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 26, 2011 Share #19 Posted January 26, 2011 I would rather prefer a R40 slant NTT with R160 technology. Those slants on those cars were awesome. Maybe some NTT R40M's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonanza123d Posted January 26, 2011 Share #22 Posted January 26, 2011 Have you ever noticed that whenever there is a NTT, there is a new basic car design? The R44, R11, R110, and believe it or not, the R1 were all NTTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
