Dj Hammers Posted May 16, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2017 The R179s were out on the C line doing simulated stop testing. This is the first time these cars have been out on the road with operating signage. Enjoy, and please subscribe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted May 16, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2017 Good job DJ. To me it's a combo of the R142 and R169, but there are enough differences to make it an interesting train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted May 16, 2017 Share #3 Posted May 16, 2017 The side windows are longer and seems like the benches are slightly longer. The side flag placement is odd though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTSTdrive Posted May 17, 2017 Share #8 Posted May 17, 2017 I'm anticipating to hear the louder and bassier B-Division announcements as the speakers are fixtures like the original R142s rather than flush in the rest of the NTTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
