And #3184 ran fine and dandy! The R-10 is back, and it is now graduated as a bona fide museum car!

And now, #3184 made history yesterday (7/29), along with the other SMEE's (including R-16 #6387), by operating amazingly great on the entire "Q" line in full, and via the SAS.

But, if you took a look at the YouTube video, the train literally CRAWLED the entire run. Probably stuck behind a regular Q. Plus had to deal with R179 testing on the Brighton line and a whole bunch of construction around Sheepshead Bay.

Except for a fantrip, I guess that line never saw R-10 service.

Unless one was put into service and no one had a camera.

I hear they tore up the Hillside Express stretch in Queens. Lead motor 3080 of a 179th St.-bound R-10 Fred ripped past Sutphin Blvd. in early 1981 at warp speed. I wasn't on that train, but heard an eyewitness account.

Although it might be perceived as cheating, It might be doable to shrink wrap the hard plastic seats in a pattern duplicating the original imitation rattan seating.

I doubt that they would have been on the N since they didn’t have the proper signs for it. I did have a train of R-10s one day for a midday trip on the B to 57 St even though it didn’t have 57 St readings. The north motor was 3138 the one with the vents in the side door windows.

The R-10 is a unique car in that it was the only SMEE car ever built with pneumatic door engines like the R1-9 cars. All the cars built afterwards had electric door engines. So the sounds of the R-10 are like no other car that ever ran in the NYC subway system.

Maybe that's why I thought the R10 was a more modern R9 rather than the first of the next generation when I first saw them way back when. The roof line, the seating, the trigger door controls, the doors themselves. I didn't know from controls or brake systems.

The origins actually had slower compressors. RPM pump speed less versus the R16 sets and up. That likeness to a slow running singer slowing machine was their trademark to me.

Or as someone else had noted that the R-10's original air compressor reminded him of an opera singer (i.e. like a soprano) just warming up and practicing before a live performance.

The R-10, 12, 14 & 15 compressors sounded alike.
They also sounded like the ACMU Pullman built cars that were in service on Merto-North, before their mid 80s rebuild.

Possibly identical compressors although NYCRR used NYAB equipment and not WABCO.
