Philly Market-Frankford Line

could i help with anything?

Sure!  Take a look at Phase I.  If there's anything in there you can assist with, that'd be awesome.  Do you ride the train in Frankford at all?  If you can get photos of any of the items I mention (Frankford Hospital, St. Mark's Church -- that'd be great.  Pics of the old terminal building would be awesome too. 

If you can do that, great!  If not, no worries.

In general, if you can point me to where I might find more info (especially historic photos of M-3's and the Market Frankford Line itself prior to say, at least 5 years ago) would also be great.  Other than that, I'm on the hunt for any and all subway related BVE resources that I can find (to play and learn!). 

Thanks!

No... its rare that i go to Frankford. The farthest i go is Spring Garden.
Yes, there are lots of photos and videos i could get you.
No there arent any videos from at least five years ago on youtube. (trust me i searched)
There are some from about 2 or 3 years ago.
I can get you anything from Hunington to 69th St.

OK.  Here's a cab view of the Budd Septa M-3.



 It's not the best pic, but I can work with it.  Can anyone give me a rundown of the controls?  Can anyone give me the details on the Cinestron notches (how many each for brake and power - and which direction)?  The gauge is obviously brake pressure.  Is there anything that might be out-of-view to the left?  Where's the reverser? 

Is this the best place to post these questions or should I post in another forum that might get a few more views (and ultimately more assistance)?

Thanks,
Lee

This sounds good, but where did the R34 come from?


...I might be wrong

Are you talking about the cab photo above?

I'm familiar with the SEPTA Market-Frankford Line (Blue Line) holla at me if you need any help (I got pics, i'm trying to record sounds on M4 but not doing too good using a cell phone, i also would get information from Google Earth for distance between stations and the line map, also check out this website: http://world.nycsubway.org/us/phila/market-frankford.html)
