Now THAT is cool. A sort of in-house custom.

Exactly, an idea to rehab the R-10 fleet that went nowhere.

I wonder how long that nose job would have stayed on given all those flat wheels? :)

When R-10 #3192 was taken outside the Coney Island Yard Shops in the fall of 1980 to be scrapped outside, the *nose* job came off to show its regular front end as it was hidden and covered over. The plan to rehab an R-10 car like that, as I was told by a shop foreman then, was to have cost more than buying one new R-46 car at that time.
