I grew up in NYC and rode the subways all my life and the R-17's from Life Like are a very good reproduction of the real thing are they also run very well and very quiet. A company called Model Traction put out subway cars many years ago (I purchased the IND R-1's and BMT Standards) and they were very expensive, not much in the way of detail and ran very loudly. For NYC subway collectors, the R-17's are the best things I've seen so far. I've seen some custom made models in N scale, but they're too small for any detail. The RDC (IMO) wouldn't make a good subway car as they are too long and much work would have to be done on it.
