Lionel R-27 Subway 2 Car add on set
By John Uske
I have received several E Mails in the past asking me about this set and many people wanted to know that if they bought 2 of these 2 car sets and joined them together would they make up one R-27 4 car set? The answer to this is NO! Of course the most obvious reason is that this set is non-powered meaning that there is no motorized unit in the set to pull the train, but there are even more reasons as to why this set is NOT ABLE to function as an independent train.This 2 car set was specifically designed to work with the original Lionel 4 car R-27 subway set, Catalog No. 6-3175. The 4 car set has an embedded digital electronic control system that can set up the doors to open on the platform side when the train enters a station, control PA system announcements for each station on the line as well as the interior lighting. The 2 car add on set cited in this review plugs into the 4 car set between cars 3 and 4 to make up a 6 car train so that all digitally controlled operating functions work in unison across the entire set once they mated through special electrical connectors at the ends of the cars.Unless the 2 car add on set is added to the 4 car set it can only be used as a dead static model suitable for display on the shelf or the cars can be towed around the layout by another locomotive or powered unit if you want to see them moving around. Nevertheless the units in this 2 car set are just as exquisitely detailed both inside and out as the cars in the 4 car set. They are beautiful to look at and a delight to behold because of all the detail they contain. I rode these subways when I was a child and Lionel has captured my memory of these cars perfectly in 3D. They are still a worthwhile buy.
