I am an administrator on a tiny page for subway trains on Facebook, oddly enough, called The Subways Page. I urge you to visit it and maybe even join us. This is not a solicitation. I am seeking information on the exterior finish of your undergound and overground rolling stock. Are they painted or do they have a color coating (vinyl) over them? I am trying to find this out because many of our members are New York fans, operators and the such. The younger people have only seen the current cars in use which are all stainless steel. They are the most boring cars on tracks anywhere. I LOVE your stuff! The design is awesome and the finish superb. I thought I read somewhere that the outer shells were covered in a color film of sorts, and that makes it impervious to grafitti. There is a new batch of equipment that was just ordered and we are all talking about how we'd like them to look, but know they will look like everything else. So I implore you all to help me out. I am an old man who rode the subways soon after my birth in 1953. I was born a block away from the 3rd Avenue Elevated. This stuff is in my blood. Thank you for appreciating my enthusiasm.
