How was the TOD (Train Operator Display) screen made? What app did they use on Windows or any operating system? Can I make my own? (Not the physical devices, the software) How did they model the speedometer and add elements?
I definitely remember riding on the GG train as a kid in the 60’s. The old cars had paddle fans, wicker seats and incandescent lightbulbs with a reverse thread so you couldn’t steal them and use it in your home. Great memories. I remember most of the model cars shown here.
The museum is in fact a real subway station, Court St, which is a continuation and terminus of the Fulton St Line’s local tracks. Local trains now switch over to the express tracks before Hoyt-Schermerhorn Sts and continue along said tracks. However, it’s possible that the museum’s station will be reverted back to service, since the Second Ave Line may extend south to Brooklyn and connect to the Fulton St Line and continue as its local tracks once Phase 4 is completed. This may also be why it’s called the IND Second Ave Line and not the BMT Second Ave Line, despite currently connecting only to the BMT Broadway Line via the BMT 63rd St Line. Let’s hope the museum doesn’t shut down as part of the line’s extension if it ever happens, it’s a popular tourist attraction!
I like the view from your angle, it's cool seeing the driver operate the train and the view of the rails in front as well. Thanks for creeping on the driver to give us footage LOL
