I'm very excited about this topic, and I give thanks to our own Melgar, who saw my Yankee Stadium and asked me if I have a subway.

I sure do, and the one I have, which was tucked away in a closet, is the MTH subway in the video below. Listen as you play the video, and you will hear the announcement, "First stop 161st Street Yankee Stadium, . .":

Here's my Lionel Legacy R27 Subway set I really like this one! I have several videos on it.  

Oh, Matt, that subway with opening doors is awesome. I knew it's been around awehile but I never saw it before. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Glad you liked it. I really like the set. One that sorta came out and no one really ever talked about. 

Of all the trains  I think the model subways would be most enhanced by having passengers standing and sitting in the cars.

I know we can buy O Scale passengers sstanding and sitting.

Does anyone know of a sticky substance that will keep the passengers in place, but not glue them to the train? Ideally, it would have the same, or slightly stronger, stickiness than a Post It, and leave no residue when later rermoved.

Very nice, I think that red subway is known as the red bird and has the best appearance.

Yes that is the Redbirds scheme. That's how some of the NYC subway cars looked from the mid 1980's until they were scrapped in early 2000's here's a 1960's mixed color scheme set of R17's and R26's. https://youtu.be/4NkzxiZpOyk

I agree with adding passengers both seated and standing. I've done that with a few of my sets. Restore Hobby cement works well for adding passengers.

I saw your red birds with remote control opening doors on YouTubd. Marvelous!

After using that cement, can the passengers be removed without damage to the train or passengers?

Yeah those are the Lionel R30's. Lionel made 3 scale NYC subway sets. The R16's, R27's that Matt posted a link to and the R30's. They are a lot of fun and I'm hoping to have time to populate and weather that set soon.
