[NYSubway18]

Here are some photos of MTH's new R-1 Premier Subway Set.
These are from the 2 car add-on set.
Images may take a while to load.
These are some real beauties! [:D]


R-1 overlooks Metro North train passing on the Hudson line below...




Not quite the stretch out to Far Rockaway, but the Hudson will have to do...




Take the A Train!




I think it would be safe to walk between these cars. [:D]




Check out that "City of New York" Lettering! [:)]




WOW! Now that's detail. [wow]




IRT R-36 and IND R-1




R-32 and R-1


They even nailed the floor color! [:D]








Check out those rattan seats. [:)]

MTH did a beautiful job with this one. [^] Passengers too! The detail is very nice indeed! I'm happy to see they've shorten the space between the cars. Have they added reversing head/tail lights to one of the non-powered units? Having "only" the power unit equipped with reversing head/tail lights is one of my pet peeves. Now if MTH would only automate the door durring a station stop and make an operating escalator as an accessory! [:D] Thank you for posting the pictures. They are terrific!

Wow. Pretty sweet! I like the close coupling of the cars.

NYSubway18 the lyrics "Take the A Train" Duke Ellington,Charles Mingus

You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem

If you miss the A train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem

Hurry,get on,now it's coming
Listen to those rails a-humming

All aboard,get on the A train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

Thanks guys. These really are amazing. By far the best subway set to date. As far as the lights, not sure yet as only the 2 car add-ons have arrived so far. Will have to wait a couple weeks to see how they handled that situation. The interiors really are cool. [8D]
