NICE IDEA FOR THE LIONEL SUBWAY CARS

Ingenious!!!

Art

Nice!

Alex,

Great idea and execution.  I've been researching subway trains for a sub level expansion on my layout.  The grey walls on the power cars were a issue for me us well.

Moxie Mike.

Always with these great ideas Alex!  Lionel should have thought of it and included that detail.

Make a couple of hundred of those photos and offer them for sale.

Steve

Thanks for the great idea Alex!

Looks great Alex! I love that set!

Great idea Alex!!....I purchased the MTH R-11 cars several years ago and had never opened the box until about a week ago.  The MTH power car has photos of people in it but on a blue background which does not look as good as your idea!!

Alan

Thanks Matt, Art, Zach, Mike, Steve, N5CJonny, Chris, and Alan for the kind comments.

I'm glad I could be of help. 

Thanks again,

Alex

Alex great work!!! That looks really good. Looks like the cars come that way.

I don't think you will ever run out of clever ideas. Very nice job, Alex. We all missed you and Dina yesterday. Everyone talked about your fabulous conversion of our giant train station and the platforms to go with it.

I did that years ago with all my motor cars.

I didn't like the grey walls either in the MTH units.

Great Idea Alex! But... is the one picture a shot of the onboard commode? 

Super job!!!

What size did you make the pictures?  I would like to do the same to my subway cars.

Excellent job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool idea, came out great.

I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before you do similar with the windows now that the doors came out so good.

Thanks for sharing!

Really good idea. Thanks for sharing it!

Great idea Alex  Glad to see the stupid thing works now

Alex The Great !!

Scrappy

It always drove me nuts to see the grey plastic housing when the doors opened, i painted that all flat black along with gluing black cardstock over the windows that had the door motors in them as i did not like the window shade look! since my own subways are going to be destined for a shelf layout disguised as a El, i was going to copy pics of standees along with flat filed figures along with "back of head shots" to place at the windows!will post the results later this year when outside work comes to a stall here in Maine, Gman.

Clever, this human.

awesome idea!  

I did something similar to that with buildings on my old hi rail layout

Hey Alex  Did you get those things at Douzers down on DeKalb Ave

Thanks Mike R, Jeff, Brian, Silver lake, SIRT, Dennis, Vallieone, NYC 428, Dave, Chuck, Ben, Eliot, Galo, AGHR Matt, Christopher, and  NJCJOE, for the nice comments and and input.

Silver Lake yes you're correct that photo is at a different angle, I'll take another photo and replace it.

Dennis that one photo does look like a commode, it's some sort of control box.

NYC 428 we changed the size of the photo's quite a few times and we didn't take notice to the size, once they were correct. Sorry about that.

Ben yes Douzers was having a two for one sale, I also picked up a slightly used vacuum

cleaner. It came with a ton of attachments . LOL LOL

Thanks again to all,

Alex

What are you going to kitbash the vacuum into?

Hi Joe,

  Ben and I always joke around about the Honeymooners, those lines came from one of there shows. LOL LOL

Thanks,

Alex

I'm going to do this to mine right now!

Now that is a VERY COOL IDEA. That reallu does improve the looks a bunch. Thanks for sharing with us.

Alex,

That was one good idea. That looks great.

Alan Graziano

Cool idea Alex.  Sure does look better than a blank grey wall.

Thanks, Brian, Pops, and Alan for the nice words

Thanks,

Alex

Alex, that is not only excellent for the subway cars...my mind is racing with other cool applications for photos to stand in as the real deal.

NICE! Thanks for sharing.
