Hello Roy Boy (and PRR Mike)
THANKS BOTH of you for the thoughts -- and taking the time to work the OGR search mode for calling up my old thread reply -- which Roy Boy eventually located. Glad that it was saved and may be useful to any present readers.
BELOW are 4 photos of some of the many Subway cars I built back in the mid to late 1980's using various types of cardstock, with styrene, wood, and other materials. And finished up by using cast metal fully proper style trailer & motor trucks, interior scale proper seating, and proper scale underbody parts, and underfloor in truck powering units -- all supplied from Q Car Company Inc.
These are exact scale replicas of actual pre-war era IRT Subway cars of NY City.
My models are seen on my scratch-built NYC Model Transit System O-Scale EL (and under EL trolleys) Layout
These O Scale NYC Subway cars and the others are still in excellent shape and all run presently.
Regards - Joe F
