NYC Subway Bluebird World's Fair Flushing Express / MP01-11BB

In coordination with New York City Subway, we have created 25 different subway trains. All are safety tested, and made of solid wood for sturdy and fun play on tracks or floor.

The R33WF Bluebirds were purchased for the 1964 New York World's Fiar and only used on the Flushing Line. The bluebirds were blue intil the mid-1970's when they were painted white in an early deterrent to graffiti. Bluebirds were painted red to become Redbirds in the mid 1980's. Only four restored R33WF's exist: three are with the NY Transit Museum with two in their original painted scheme and one as a Redbird; and one is in the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine.
