HO. I've always considered getting that LRV model. One of my friends in
high school was a real subway fan and his model railroad actually was a
transit layout, complete with a subway station. He told me of exploring
the nether reaches of the subway system, and finding the tokens stored
away (this was before the tokens came back into use - they had actually
saved them when they stopped using them in the 50s or whenever - the
nice thing about an old subway system is that you have all sorts of
storeage space...). I assume they have since minted new tokens (the
quantity necessary must be much more than the old ones).
