MTH Premier line O gauge R-1 subway train
I just bought my R-1 subway train, and it looks exactley like the one’s that I used to ride on when I was a small child back in the 1956 - 1960’s era in New York City. We used to call it the " Sea Beach Line ", because we used to ride it through Brooklyn, N. Y. to go to the beach , it also went to Coney Island, which at that time was a huge amusement park at the most southern part of Brooklyn, N.Y… This is a fine replica of the train that I remember from long ago.
To John Mortlock You are mistaken at that time the R-1 ran only on the F (IND) line going to Coney Island, the sea beach line ran the BMT Standards with MTH also made.
Which similar vintage cars ran on the “D” line in the Bronx?
