After the graffitee epidemic dissipated, the entire R33WF fleet should have been restored to its original appearance

It either could have been the one of the first R-33's to arrive or it was used in a special train commemorating their arrival. Bill Newkirk

Thought as part of their conversion to work cars they would've gotten some body repair and a new paint job into MoW Yellow, not the half-assed job of just painting SOME of the ends. They didn't even bother to renumber some of them like they used to do in previous revenue-to-work car conversions.

Absolutely no conversions. The ads and map are still in place inside. The last time I saw her she still had her side roll-signs, but those look gone now.

Some/most of them look to be in very rough shape.

When it was applied to the R-10s, I was hoping the entire NYCTA painted fleet would be painted like that but it never happened. The only question I had about that scheme as applied to the R-10s is why they painted the stripes in the ends of the cars instead of just painting them the solid turquoise like the R-33s and the #1 ends of the R-36s.

The paint is fading, albeit slowly, on the Redbirds. The signal dolly cars (S01 and S02) were both built by Fuji Heavy Industries in 1984.

Nothing is being scrapped. The cars may look rough, but they are functional and still perform quite well.
