The Ultimate Addition to Your Subway Collection...An Actual Subway Car: | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

The Chicago Transit Authority is auctioning off a couple of retired 2200 Series rail cars. I believe these would have run on the Blue Line. So far no bids at the $4K opening bid. Too bad they're too big for my train room.

Why not get it and make it your train room?

I'd love to but I don't think my home-owner's association would approve.

There are about 40 NYC Subway cars currently waiting there fate and more heading that way. I tried to buy one to send as an office. You have a better change of buying the space shuttle.

Do you think I can cut a deal on shipping?
