Hi all!
APPLES55 I would think the M2's are long gone (how my years ago did you ride them?) rail cars last 40 to 50 years. I work on the procurement of the LIRR M8's and/or MNR/LIRR M9's almost every day.

Redball;
I regularly road the M2’s on the Harlem Line from 2003 until I retired in 2012. After retirement, I caught them every so often when I went into the city. From what I can find online, it appears that they ended service in December, 2018, but a Metro-North Facebook group I belong to has indicated that there may still be a few running. They are definitely on the endangered list

Redball342- I read an article in Newsday the other day that they are finally going to start phasing out the M3's. I though they were supposed to go years ago when the M7's arrived? Hope you get to start on a layout one day. We've all been in the same position at one time or another.
