GVDobler posted:So what models have the doors that open remotely?
Are they program able to open at stops and only one side or do all doors open?
Which are Els and which are subway or is there a difference?
Hello! The subways that have remote opening doors are the Lionel R16,R27, & the R30 sets. They open via the legacy remote and you can choose which side of the car doors to open. They will only open when the train is stopped. And they also have station stop announcements which you play by pressing Keys on the remote.
The term el is short for elevated and is most common in Chicago where many of the lines run above the streets on what's called the downtown loop. Most New York subways also come up from under the ground when they leave Manhattan and go into Brooklyn, queens, or the Bronx. Those portions of the lines are also called el's.
hope this answers your questions.
