Reply to "Who has a subway Work Train?"

I haven't run it yet (story of my life ), but I have a pair of RMT's 'Bang' S-2 switchers, and a quartet of RailKing unpowered R-17 "work motors".

Needing a bit more work are a pair of unpainted Weaver "war emergency" gondolas (they resemble MTA work flatcars with their low wood sides) that I had equipped with roller-bearing trucks by Weaver before shipment. They'll need paint, lettering and some scratchbuilt anticlimbers, head/tail light assemblies and end railings. In addition to this I have a Industrial Rail undecorated tank car that I intend to equip with an MTA paint job and raised number boards as per prototype. I may even lower the expansion dome, again as per prototype.

At this stage of backed-up projects aggravated by a lack of workshop space, I might as well add in a proposal to scratchbuild one of those "SpanDeck" cranes also used by the MTA subway division.
