NYCT R39 GIFs

Some GIFs of the proposed R39 cars.
-- Pre-GOH
-- Post-GOH, I have signed this version as a 7th Avenue Route since either the Els would have been torn down or R62As assigned to the 8 and what would the MJ be called today?

What exactly are these little things? I have seen exactly
one sketch of the R-39 proposal but I can't remember where.
When the NYC rolling stock book was being done one of the
editors was also searching in vain for it. Are these little
GIFs your impression of what it would have looked like?

There was a photoshop of one posted somewhere a while ago, I think it was here. I used that pic and what was done during the GOH of the R38 to make the post-GOH version of it. The pre-GOH version as was the pic IIRC, is basically an R36WF dressed up like an R38.

The R36 WFs would exactly turned out like that had St. Louis originally completed them in stainless for the World's Fair as planned. If that or Budd winning the R36 order happened, they would certainly be around today.

Another foamer "article" on wikipedia - possibly correct, but without even bothering to provide any kind of citation or corroboration...wikipedia does tend to take care of things like that, eventually...

The R39 has been discussed here and on Subtalk several times. The only results Google turns up from here on the R39 is this thread.

The book "New York City Subway Cars" has a short paragraph on the R39 on page 18.

Good work Wado. Just don't expect any apologies from Ron. In fact, expect some unwarranted personal attacks.

Since 85% of your post now concern Ron, you should open your own board and call it Ronchat.

Yes, I know you won't respond to this. But you'll read it and that's all that matters.

If my memory serves me right, I believe an artist's conception of the proposed R-39 cars was in an old Brooklyn Eagle newspaper. Not the original Brooklyn Eagle but the resurgence of it back in the late '60s.

I didn't know about that one. The gory detail appears to be here, and it only serves to reinforce my views on how worthwhile Wikipedia is.

Here's another wonderful bit of Wikinonsense that has been irritating me recently:
The mainstream position of historical linguistics is that genetic continuity does not imply linguistic continuity and that theories of a literal "military conquest" have fallen into disfavour with most supporters of the theory of a Chalcolithic origin of Indo-European. The time frame proposed by PCT is far beyond mainstream estimates, by a factor of at least 500%, and the hypothesis is not taken seriously in Indo-European studies.
