I had no problem with the green paint scheme on the R-10's overall, along with their updated roll signs. It did give a much brighter look inside, with the fluorescent lights now going full blast as being that bright.Their NYAB rotary screw compressor was unusual to hear at first, not their original WABCO A-1 one that I loved listening to. The flat wheels and braking were basically their downfall, with them getting the composition shoes put in instead keeping their cast iron ones. And now, the full list of R-10's that given the "treatment" December 1984-February 1986: 2951, 2955, 2956, 2957, 2958, 2959, 2960, 2961, 2962, 2966, 2967(*), 2968, 2969, 2971, 2973, 2974, 3001, 3003, 3005(*), 3008, 3011, 3013, 3016, 3018, 3021, 3022, 3023, 3025, 3026, 3027, 3029, 3030, 3031, 3033, 3035(*), 3036, 3037, 3038, 3040(*), 3043, 3044, 3045, 3047, 3048, 3101, 3107, 3110, 3114, 3116(*), 3117, 3118, 3121, 3123, 3125, 3126, 3128, 3130, 3133, 3136, 3137, 3138, 3139, 3141, 3142, 3143, 3144, 3145, 3146, 3149, 3150(*), 3153, 3154, 3157, 3158, 3159, 3161, 3164(*), 3166, 3168, 3169, 3170, 3173, 3176, 3177, 3181, 3182, 3184, 3185, 3186, 3187, 3191, 3193, 3194, 3197, 3198, 3199, 3201(*), 3203, 3204, 3205(*), 3206, 3208(*), 3209, 3212, 3215, 3216, 3219, 3220, 3221 and 3224. (*) = Car that had its side number plates lowered from the top of the roofline a few inches down. Cars 3037 and 3169 were the last R-10's as observed to come out of being overhauled from the 207th Street Shop. Car #3184 is the museum car taken from that group. The W.H. R-10's that NYC Transit did not choose to be in this overhaul program were: 2965, 3009, 3010, 3039, 3046, 3152, 3188, 3190, 3210 and 3223. 3189 (now a museum car stored at 207th Street Yard) had already been taken out of service earlier, and became the RCI Yard Office/School Car at Pitkin Yard. -William A.
