I liked their exterior appearance, doors/windows combination from the very start. The first place I saw them was the Rocky Graziano biopic from years back, "Somebody Up There Likes Me." Paul Newman played Rocky.He and his friends are up to no good with the vending machines that used to be mounted on the platform pillars (a friend later told me the scene was shot at Chambers St.). A transit worker (?) starts to go after them, and they get on the train that's just pulled into the station and the doors close. It was a Standard - I just thought it was the coolest looking car (to each his own I guess). And several months or so later I answered a Silver Leaf Rapid Transit ad, and was sent a brochure about their new HO model Standard - a 1/2 view (side view)of the a Standard* at the top of the page and a short history. The entire brochure was about 4 pages, I think it also included a description of a gate car model (BU?). It went right into my BMT file folder. I still have it. *real, not the model |
