Specifications
- The cab cars are powered with four traction motors each. The center car of the 3-car set is an un-powered, cab-less trailer. The cars are typical B-Division size, except that they are 67 feet long, a length only shared by the BMT Standards.
- The model uses the standard subway train control stand, but with some added computerized features. The layout of the controls is desk-style, with switches, lamps, and a single lever to control traction and braking. A CRT with function keys on either side is used to monitor speed, train status, etc.
- Its design is similar to the R68 cars now in use on the BMT and IND lines, but the ends are more square and Lexan glass is used in the windows.
- The seating configuration is the same as in the R68, but the materials are improved. A matte plastic is used that allows scratches, tags and stubborn graffiti to be buffed out using a light abrasive. The seats have a reduced bucket. Internal surfaces are tan fiberglass and plastic, with accents provided using a plastic mosaic applique. The floor is linoleum with a pattern of slightly raised and textured squares. The R110B cars have a few handholds for shorter passengers.
- A new feature is a passenger intercom, which can be used for emergencies.
- Car ends that do not have cabs have an expanse of glass, which makes the car feel open and airy.
- Signs: Rollsign line indicators; LCD destination signs (on Windows); Interior strip route guides on top of the ad space with LED indication of stops ahead on both sides.
