PTC: The taxi’s are a great addition. I presume that they are yellow – that adds color. I can’t see the photo’s – are they checker type? Remind me of the era you are modeling. taxicab is named after the taximeter, an instrument invented by Wilhelm Bruhn in 1891 that automatically recorded the distance traveled and/or the time consumed, thus enabling the fare to be accurately determined. The term cab derives from the cabriolet, a two-wheeled, one-horse carriage often let out for hire. Alfred

Great choice. The closest to these that I have experience with is my family's 1950 Chrysler. Gig cars. Alfred

Because of our New York City theme, lot of taxicabs were necessary to make it look as realistic as possible. So we have close to 150 of them on the layout. There are many variations.
What makes these special are the graphics. They are wonderful. You can't help but notice them among the many.
