Frequently Asked Questions
π§ What is the "Low Quality" option?
The Low Quality shell is made using a faster, more automated process. While it maintains accurate dimensions, it has more visible layer lines and surface texture compared to our standard shells. This option is perfect for hobbyists planning to prime, sand, or repaint the model. It includes a basic bottom chassis for mounting.
Low quality does NOT have end gates
π© What does "Assembled" include? (O Scale only)
The Assembled option features a fully painted shell mounted on a bottom chassis. It includes a custom LED lighting board for interior illumination and MTH-style trucks (non-powered). Each truck is fitted with a custom truck cover to match the specific subway car (e.g., R179, R211). This is ideal for layout-ready display with high realism and detail.
π What is the "Powered" version? (O Scale only)
The Powered model builds on the assembled version by adding motorization and sound. It features dual motors and a ProtoSound 2 or 3 board, offering realistic operation and audio. Includes LED lights, MTH-style trucks, and is compatible with powered O scale layouts and MTH DCS systems. (watch the video!)
π Whatβs included in the HO Scale version?
The HO Scale offering includes a detailed shell and bottom chassis only. It is non-powered and does not include trucks or lighting due to the smaller scale. Perfect for custom mounting on an existing HO setup or static display projects.
