Perhaps this question would be better asked on the subway forum, but here goes:
Does anybody have a list of all the Subway sets, including the add-ons, that were made by MTH?

Here is a list I found that lists the MTH Subway sets and add ons.
Thank you very much!
That list has everything I wanted, and then some!
Interesting that they never did Premier cars, only Railking cars on Premier Flatcars.
Lots of Railking sets tho.
What do you guys think would be the "style/type" of subway for maybe the 1930s or 1940s? Always thought about getting one and have a cool spot for it now on layout.
The guys on the subway forum could probably tell you what is appropriate for that era.
My interest lies in the cars that remind me of what I rode on when I was a kid.
I have sets of the R-21 and LO-V cars. I also like the R-1 cars.
Thanks. Didn't occur to me that there actually was an entire forum for subway/transit.

Thanks for list. I like the "Q" series.
Wow, great information as many of my customers interested in the ELevated bridge system have asked if I knew of such a list.
I know Lionel has made a few sets, Does anyone have such I a list?
Thanks.

I have yet to find a list for Lionel Subway sets. Hopefully there is one out there.

There is only three sets made by Lionel They are basically the same car body with different schemes R27 6-31751 & 6-18378, R30 6-25582 & 6-31794, R16 6-25595 & 6-31797.
The MTH premier Subways are scale length B division cars The shortest being 60 feet MTH does not offer any flat car to handle a 60 foot car
As for the 1930's 1940s The list would be R1, Lo-V, BMT Standards,Q-Cars, R12 ( Late 40's)

I'm pretty sure Russell was referring to the subway cars that were included on a flatcar.
I'm pretty sure he's right that so far those have only been offered as a RK subway car included on a Premier flat car.
No Premier Subway cars have been offered as flat car loads yet, I don't think.
(They would at least need to be on a bigger flat car, the Premier cars would not likely fit on the same length flat car)
