In addition to 9946, you don't want 9945 either, those of course are the Colin Ferguson cars which used to be 9892 and 9893. 9771 of course is the original M3, and I was looking at the other numbers and saw 9770, and I'm thinking that's a M1 car, the last. In addition to that, does anyone know what...

Peanut1: I recommend you download and read this booklet. http://www.aaprco.com/ownership/AAPRCO_intro_v26.pdf It was prepared by the American Association of Private Railroad Car Owners (AAPRCO) to educate people, like yourself, who are considering purchasing one or more passenger cars for private u...

The only possible use for such cars, particularly if you are a sole owner, is to have them in your back yard, or as a camp, or as a museum piece. Owning them as running vehicles is almost 100% out of the question. I would suggest you check out Youtube's "The Man with a Train in his Basement&qu...

Was that with sound or without and from where?

Pre-ordered my LIRR MP15, put in for 164 for $122.00

Will keep those scrappers in mind. I am going to wait until the M3's start rolling off long island and than try and get a better deal going through the scrap metal dealer for the M3's instead of going through the LIRR.

@longislandtool, if I went in that direction and waited for the M3's to start heading for the scrapper, who in fact does the scrapping in terms of a company if you would know?

No I am not taking 9946, I am going to try for a blueliner. I will keep you all posted on what goes on with this.

I am going to give it a shot and see what happens, in the meantime I have to get in contact with the purchasing agent and see if I could get a good pair. I am just a regular person who loves trains and happen to love the M3's so will see what I can do.

With the LIRR M3's soon to be out the door it has been my dream to own a pair. Who would I contact at the LIRR to go about this operation? Was wondering if anybody here could help. Thanks in advance.

I'll be ordering mine in a couple of days, doe anybody know if Athearn will offer the LIRR MP15's in the other colors they ran in? I am going to send off an email to them asking them to do a future run of the LIRR's SW1001 gray and orange diesels.

How many subway tunnels does the subway have and where are they about?

Saw it twice on Babylon going West and than went back east around 4:00pm, don't know where it went after that. Kinda odd seeing something like that on LI

Rapido is going to run LIRR FL9's? Aren't the FL9's in production different than the ones the LIRR ran? LIRR ran FL9 AC's or something like that.

was their a budd plant in Shea Stadium yard itself being that they did work on cars like these their? I have seen photos on the internet of subway cars in the same location testing on LIRR tracks as well PATH train cars testing on those tracks, what is the story behind those photos?
