By LEWIS AUSTIN

   An HO model of this car can be constructed in much the same manner as a Pullman with the exception of the ends. Instead of regular wooden ends, the ends will have to be made of three ply bristol board in order to make it possible to cut out the windows and doors. The sides are also made of three ply bristol board, and the window and door openings are cut out with a sharp razor blade.

  BUILDING models of interurban and trolley cars seems to be very popular now so why not a miniature subway car?

The car shown on the plan is in service on the Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Independent Subway System. Service on this line was started early in 1930 from the Harlem River Terminal at 207th Street as far south as Chambers Street, which was a temporary ter­minal pending the completion of the East River Tubes under Fulton Street to Brooklyn.

   The Eighth Avenue Subway cars are an improvement over the cars in use on the other subway systems of the city. These cars are faster in operation and have a greater capacity. The cars are 60' 6" long 10' wide and 12' high.
