Product Description
Entering service in 1961, R30 subway cars operated mainly in theEastern Division of the New York City Transit Author¬ity line. The last of them were retired in 1993 after thirty solid years of service. Dressed originally in Kale green, the R30's were repainted red in the late 1960's. A common route for the R30 class was on the designated QJ line which included travel between Queens' 168th Street and Coney Island.
Featuring the Legacy Control System, Lionel's R30 sub¬way cars have opening doors and authentic subway sounds. Listen for the operator announcing true-to-life stops along the route. They also feature a wealth of realistic detail, decoration, and lighting features both inside the cars and out.
