Desperate for the 9 train!

My son collects wooden NYC subway trains and he is obsessed with the 9, which was taken out of service. His ambition in life is to take over the MTA so he can bring back the 9 train and build a 10 line on the East Side. (LOL!)

ALL he wants for Christmas is a little wooden 9 train. I don't even know if they ever made one. I can't find one anywhere.

I thought I'd just give it a shot and ask if anyone here has any clue how to find the 9 train.

Thanks.

That would be great. Even if we can't get it for Christmas - G would be so happy to get it at all.

...I'm going to print 9 train stickers at work and buy the 1 train and put the stickers on it.

He collects a specific type of model subway train.

Thanks though.
