Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Fri Feb 19 20:01:25 2021, in response to Re: R1s-9s, posted by randyo on Fri Feb 19 19:15:02 2021. I used to hate to get an R-17 as lead motor back in the day (mid-70s), especially on a run to Newlots Av in the summer. Even though you could technically open the RFW on the 17s, I never figured out how to do it. I would almost rather get a car with a solid window (R-26/28/29/33) than a 17 if I could get an R-21 or 22. But it seems I usually got a 17, like on a railfan trip I took in early 1975 from Newlots. 6689 north motor. This may have been my first subway pic! I had just gotten my own camera (a cheap-ass 110 that my mother got). It lasted only a few months, next time got a Kodak, which last for a few years, but it had a weird battery and the pics weren't coming out right. In 1978, I got a better Kodak 110 with a detachable flash that used 2 AAA batteries. I used it for 12 years, then retired it only because I had gotten a 35mm. I still have it, and the shutter and film advance still work (albeit without any film inside). I'm tempted to get a roll of 110 film (they are available on either Ebay or Amazon), the thing would be where to develop it |
