Reply to "IRT & BMT Open Platform EL Gate Cars (MORE pics)"

Hello RJR !

 

Thanks also for stopping by to look over this Thread.  Check out my other threads in this series here at OGR Subways Forum showcasing my El-Trolley Layout, if you haven't already.

 

Good to find ANOTHER rare poster who also rode the Manhattan-Bronx 3rd Ave El and the Dyre Shuttle.  We ARE becoming a rare, heh, breed as time goes by ! I rode the Dyre line a number of times in 1952 and 53 when it had gate cars on it - and later in 1954 when it had  Manual-Door-Control Hi-V Class steel subway cars.  And of course after it was connected to the IRT Mainline at E.180th Street yards, in 1958, I rode its thru services with Low-V's and later IRT R-Type (SMEE) cars.  I could almost imagine what riding it in its NYW&B days was like !

 

I grew up and lived right along the Manhattan 3rd Ave EL and rode if quite frequently. 

 

Glad you enjoyed my  layout photos, videos, and trip back in time via modeling.

 

Regards - Joe F
