Boston help

Please disregard initial post.  I think I got this thing figured out.  Sorry for the fire drill.

Just for the record there is a roster of Boston transit vehicles online. Retired vehicles are down towards the bottom.

Bill-

Thanx for the assist.  Since you're from Ontario, you might be interested in the attached pix.

Merry Christmas!

Bill-

Here's the Boston Red Line car that wouldn't be here without your critical assist.  Hope I can return the favor someday.

Go Yankees.

Very nice model! 

Mike, Serenska-

Here are some more Boston pix for you New Englanders.  Thanx for the likes.

Wow! Stunning models! Do you have a SEPTA B-IV Variant as well? I would love to see it! 

Pelham-

Attached pic is only SEPTA subway model I have.   Am planning future repaint of two CTA 6000s in SEPTA livery worn during their 1980s/90s reincarnation on the Norristown line.

Amazing! I would love to buy one if you are interested

Wow, Boston guy here and love the replicas of the Boston subway cars especially the East Boston Tunnel cars as I grew up in Eastie.  How did you make them?  Did you kit bash an MTH model or are they from scratch?

That is an awesome model!   I see these every day when I go into work in Cambridge Mass.   whish MTH would make some of these.

Blue Line-

Car #1 is a kit-bashed "Bostonized" St. Petersburg Tram Collection O-scale kit of a Cleveland rapid transit car put out in 2004.  Sadly, they were never repeated.  Car #2 is a bit of a mystery, acquired years ago on ebay.  It is a very good unmistakeable model of an East Boston car, but it was painted light gray with yellow lettering reading "WABCO" (for Westinghouse Air Brake, I presume) and a blue top.  Destination sign read "Chicago".  Both cars were repainted as-delivered two-toned gray separated by an orange belt line.  Although the Cleveland kit was bashed to resemble Boston, real life was exactly the opposite.  It was Boston that led the way with those beautiful picture window subway cars, with Cleveland following up in 1955.  Of all of Boston's fascinating subway system, I always thought the Blue Line was the coolest.  Incidentally, it is possible to kit bash an East Boston or Blue Line car from an MTH Chicago PCC 6000-series subway set.  You will have your choice of powered or unpowered, but it will take some time and patience.  If you want to see pix of a prototype and model, check out the "Cleveland Rapid Transit" thread in February.  Yes, I know it's Cleveland, but if you can do Cleveland, you're 95% there.  Good luck!
