after 2003 when the WF R36 was reffing some scientists said it could create "espostos" on the ocean water.some said its great since the fish took as their home.so until 2011 we will see if it gets reffed.
 
i wish magicland released his r40 cars, i never even got to ride one on the Q when i went to new york. :(:'(
 
Always has been sad to see any train leave the subway. It was sad to see the redbirds, now it'll be even sadder to see the R40 Slants go sleeping with the fishes :':):)confused: (the only cars that should be sleeping with the fishes are two type of cars are the ones that have a bigger number then the R42, and a smaller number then the R62 and those are the R44 and R46)
 
The only cars that I think should go sleep with the fishes are cars that have a number higher than the R110 and lower than R164 and that's R160 (Is the R164 is plain fiction :hehe:

Yea, that includes a couple of other cars also (the R110's were also known as the R131/R132, the R142, R142A, R142S, and the R143. I like the IRT so im keeping the R142's. Also, the R160's do sound like a good nominee to join everyone else in the fishes territory:hehe:

You mean that anything that has an AC motor, GTO choppers (R110A/B) OR IGBT (laters), auto-annoucers that get on ya nerved (Aka SONIA) and might as well be built out of plastic, should be reefed?
Aye, even though I have never been to New York in my life. The reason being, our slammers got killed off by Elplastostars (Electrostars), plastic, IGBTs and AC motors.

No. The R160, R160A, R160B and R160S (I think there's that many of them) should be reefed. They deserve it for getting rid of R32s, R38s and R40 Slants. :(

Yes I saw them 2 days ago. I loved the R40 Tribute video. R.I.P R40 Slants/Mods:'( :(

For some reason I really link the design of the gates of the R40S. I hope Magicland's R40 will have them. :(
