I'm thinking about running a subway on my layout and went looking for good locos. I saw the NYC R17 cars and for some reason, I just don't see them as subway cars. I then found the LifeLike Proto 1000 RDC cars. I know these aren't subway cars, but to me they remind me more of what a subway car looks like. Of course, I live out in the sticks, so I've never even been ON a subway before to say for certain what they look like. What do you guysthink about about using the RDC cars as subway locos. Also, if those work, what cars would you put behind them? I was thinking of the Budd Streamline cars. (By the way, I'm thinking of getting the Amtrak cars, but maybe converting them to the Septa line, if I'm ever ambitious enough.) Thanks guys, Kevin
