The R8A? What in the world is that?
« on: May 04, 2012, 07:02:18 pm »
You heard me. The car nobody knows anything about (as it seems >.<)

I am a very bored individual right now, so I decided i'll hand draw a side and front texture of the 66 unit and see if I can make b3d model of it.

Aside from that, now on to my question. My 2012 calander for May (That's where i got this idea) shows car 67, and states it was scrapped in 1986. So does anyone know ANYTHING about what could have happened to car 66? It was in Jamaica last seen in 1981. Here is picture=

The R8As were revenue collection cars built for the IND, and were the only pre-war IND equipment built by St. Louis Car Company.
Both cars were scrapped.
