Just such a disappointment they are doing THREE blue and yellow LIRR RS3s and not a single one has an accurate paint scheme.

Yeah, but the one I picked above is close enough. I’m going to remove the Black LIRR on the cab and place on some “M” decals. I’ll leave the incorrect yellow “Long Island”, but weather the heck out of it so it’s less noticeable. I also bought a couple of engineer figures for the cab. For $349, it’s a steal and in light of that price, I don’t really mind the upgrade work. It’ll be a fun project turning it into this - https://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?67673

PHOTO removed see above statement by moderator.

edit - sorry about that mods! Thanks for just deleting the photo and not my whole post. Thought the pic was public domain, since it’s on the nyc subway organization website, won’t make the same mistake again. Thx!
