But then you have the Brightliners, the 38s, the SLANTS, the MODs, the 42s, that look like SLANT MODS. All those look different. then the 44s, and 46s, which look different from other cars, but look alike. Then there are the 68s, which also look different.Only for a period between 1950 and 1965 did the MTA buy the redbird type cars. Mostly for the IRT. The IND still had the Arnines, and Artens, but bought a few redbird type cars like the R30s for extra cars. Then the IRT eventually bought the R62s, which were OK. BUT, those redbirds had more character as individual cars than todays BS NTT cars. Like isaid, a line here, and there, a curve, a design, yet it was in harmony, and gave character. NTTs don't have character due to lack of harmony. Not to mention, they are poorly built cars. |
