What types of Twinvision are there? 

 

EDIT: My 100th comment! Finally!

Even if I told you, I'm not sure you would understand or be familiar with them. Did you just want a Twinvision flipdot?

Just give me an example, please.

...what?

Normal and glow, please.

That doesn't answer my question. There is more than one Twinvision sign.

a missing rollsign on the front means nothing - I've seen R46s on the missing rollsigns on the front of their trains too, but passengers are now acclimated to the equipment that runs on their line. I.E. if you're at a station on Broadway or along 59 St, when you see a new train, you know its a Queens Blvd train, and when you see an old train, you know its bound for Astoria or 96 St.

Basically. But with Pitkin Yard's married pairs, it's different. They're often seen in the yard without a front rollsign box, which led to my theory of Pitkin Yard using them for spare parts whenever they're not in active use.

Maybe though the end sign has been missing for a while and is never used at the front for that reason?  With most of the R211s back in service and more on the way maybe they'll start sidelining some of these cars again.  And after the disaster with the R211s, they won't be fully retiring any R46s anytime soon.

6216 was leading back in November, so...

R46 married pair 6216+6218 out of service because of a horrible flat wheel on 6216. Set is being towed to Coney Island Yard. It's also missing an end rollsign box, which makes me come up with this theory based on other married pairs' past situations:

Pitkin Yard may be using the married pairs for spare parts whenever they're not in active service. Then, they could send them to Coney Island Yard (or 207th Street Yard?) to receive more parts.

Can I get a R179 Exterior LED Sign

V TO 145 ST

Guessing here, but maybe they took the R179s off because they wanted them back on the A or C, depending on which they used, because the R211s are still not back.  There was a promise of new trains but the line was almost all R46.

I completely forgot about that and I even thought of that as well lol

This is truly incredible! It made me smile, and I am genuinely grateful for all the effort you put into creating this. Thank you for your hard work, it is greatly appreciated!

You're welcome!

My apologies, Sure, I feel like it would fit well. Could you make both of the arrows blink 4 times? Thank you.

How is this?

59 minutes ago, ctraimta said:

Maybe do it like this.
 ctraimta <- 
Official <-
*Blinking, but not too fast*
-> Subscribe <- 

(optional) If you want you could add this. (2 seconds long)
-> Enjoy! <- 

Once again, Thank you so much for your hard work. I appreciate it.

Should the C bullet appear with "Official" as well? How many times do you want it to blink? Should both the arrows and text blink, or only one of them? Also, don't provide optional details. I'm either making it or not making it; I shouldn't have to make that decision...

Oh, okay. Is it possible to separate the ctraimta and official? Thanks. Once again I appreciate it, Ben.
Something like this:

(Arrow pointing Right) ctraimta
official
(Arrow pointing Right) Subscribe (Arrow pointing Left)

What about the C train bullet? I'm still a bit confused on how you want it.

R46s are still running on the . Just now saw one leaving Broad Channel southbound and another at the relay while on the  heading northbound. I also saw an R179 on the  earlier while on the  to Far Rockaway.

Sorry if this was already brought up btw.

Correct. I'm not sure what happened to it being limited to R179s, but it seems like that is no longer the case.

Hey Ben! I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for going above and beyond to fulfill my requests.  However, I have one more favor to ask. Would it be possible for you to create an R211 Interior design that includes the text:
  "ctraimta_official" . Accompanied by:
a green arrow pointing to the right, and if possible, an optional green arrow pointing to the left indicating "Subscribe"?
If it aligns well, it would be great to have an additional signage that has a green arrow pointing right indicating "Follow" (optional left arrow).
Feel free to add your creative touch to make it visually appealing.
Thank you so much; your effort is greatly appreciated! Wishing you a fantastic day ahead!

Unfortunately, that doesn't fit.

Well, I guess I'm gonna request the first RTS twinvision sign.

Q21: Howard Beach 164 Av via Woodhaven Blvd

The TwinVision signs weren't for MTA Bus Company, but whatever lol
Also, I added glow because I used glow in my first example. Let me know if you want it without glow.

Apologies for any delay. I am currently taking my finals.

Staten Island Railway R44 car 452 may be retired. It was seen in the storage siding behind the Western Beef along with car 424, which is retired. Before this, 452 was seen with car 401, also retired.

I have been hearing Coney's 5754-5755-5757-5756 and possibly another set has been retired and has been separated sitting in the back of Coney. This explains the one R-160 filling in for a Coney run throughout the day if true.

5754 was the first R-46 built under number 500. 

Has anyone seen this set in service recently?

This set was in service the day before you made this post. The two R160s that ran on the Q recently was because of issues that are easily solved with troubleshooting and maintenance.

Maybe they'd run that as part of a 7 car C train?  Or have they already been cannibalized or written off?

They've been written off for parts.
