I actually thought there were 10 R-10s painted red but I was never really sure how many were actually done. Initially, the number plates were not changed and the orange/red on grey numbers were hard to read against the red car bodies and so they were changed to white on red number plates. Once the R-36s came in, the TA began painting the R-10s in a similar paint scheme but unfortunately subsequently decided to paint the R-12s through 17s and the 27/30s R-29 red which while an improvement over the steel dust covered livery, was not as nice as the blue and white racing stripe scheme. The TA was also not consistent with their interior, choosing to paint the interiors of the IND/BMT cars and the R-17s in the original to tone blue and grey while painting the R-12s through 15s in the Two tone blue R-36 paint scheme. |
