NYCTA R62 subway car O scale / HO scale
The R62 is a New York City Subway car model built between 1983 and 1985 by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Kobe, Japan, for the A Division. A total of 325 cars were built, originally as single units. When the reliability of the fleet improved, they were converted to five-car sets. The cars replaced the remaining R12s, R14s, and R15s, which were all retired by the end of 1984.
The R62 was the first order of A Division cars in 20 years (following the R36 order from 1963), and the first stainless steel subway car built for the A Division. The first cars entered revenue service testing on November 29, 1983, and officially entered service on May 7, 1984. The R62s are scheduled to remain in service until 2023–2026, when they will be replaced with the R262s.
The R62 is available in O scale and HO scale. You can purchase a Shell only w/ Chassis or a fully assembled unit (Trucks and lights)
This measures ~ L 12.5' x W 2.3622 x H 2.5', with HO scale being 55% of those measurements
