Some friends today introduced me to a close out type store in my area called Ollie's, sounded familiar, so I thought I might have heard that name mentioned here before. Anyway, not sure if these have been shown before since I'm not sure how old they are, but they had a series of these Action race cars there with promotional graphics of MTA on the cars and cards. I believe they had a model for each of the lines listed on the back, and the two map cars I picked up. ![]() ![]() ![]()

And, you could carry them in your pocket (the one(s) for whatever line you're traveling on that day) so you wouldn't have to keep grabbing another paper map.... |

These are neat looking - seems someone showed one of these a while back loose and wasn't sure what it was from. Those would be perfect for my daughter and her family as they are headed to NYC in a couple of weeks and could use them as maps.

Thanks guys! Forgot to mention that they are quite heavy, must be diecast base as well, and I suspect they were something originally available in a souvenir type shop in NYC, but maybe from awhile ago, the only date on the package I believe said 2011. While those maps are quite detailed and clearly printed, I certainly would never be able to read them while out and about, at least not without a magnifying glass.

Yes, they seem to be catching up with more and more accounts that they didn't mess up the first time around.
