    My location is what it says in my profile here and that's it. The way this city and state are run, I think those of us with NY addresses are ALL living on a sinking ship. At the risk of getting too political, allow me to misdirect the conversation with the following: big ass titties

    Katy Perry is a smoke show. I'd hit that. But she's engaged. oh well...only a couple hundred million other hot girls in the world to try and get with before I die.

    wow, how embarrasing for you...you get a womp womp for that... (kidding)

    what kinda girls are YOU meeting up with... Eh, I'd actually rather a girl NOT be interested in trains, lest she be one of the types described in the "does the railfan community attract a certain type of person..." thread... For those of you that know think IRTgirl... *shudders*

    Congrats kid. Good work. Just remember Girls > Trains. This advice will aid you well the rest of your life.

    Third rail was already shut off when the film was taken.

    ha I don't think I've ever used Network Neighborhood. Every time I double clicked it back in the day I didn't understand what popped up and immediately hit cancel.

    Behind anyone standing there. It does nothing on current equipment now though, except on the R62A cars with side LED circles or diamonds, where it controls whether the circle (LCL) or diamond (EXP) displays on the side signs.

    field shunting was, yes

  13. SubwayGuy

    originally, yes

  14. SubwayGuy

    Not the signs themselves, no. If you're talking about field shunting, see this thread: http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=121586#post121586

     

    When it was active, field shunts were controlled by the ENRCON switch which had a "LCL" and "EXP" position so perhaps that explains the confusion

    Typo

    LOL I'm not an employee...just a volunteer (even though I have a few friends that are employees though). Anyway yes I have taken apart traction motors, but only DC ones, and mostly old stuff like a GE 714 which would be under an R9 for example. Taking them apart is not easy, as even an individual field coil (if you're familiar with DC motor theory) can weigh more than a hundred pounds, and the armature (which you'd be required to take out to really make much progress) can weigh more than a thousand pounds. Unless you have the resources of a legitimate subway shop, hoists/cranes are your friend :D However it's very difficult to do, and almost always should never be done by one person alone.

    transit is not selling traction motors, so if you were able to get one for whatever purpose you have in mind, it would be a special arrangement of some kind. Also a word to the wise, a DC traction motor such as that is extremely heavy, weighing several thousand pounds, so it is something that would require a highly rated crane/hoist and slings to load/unload, as well as a serious vehicle to transport it since even pickup suspensions are not rated to carry something that heavy. Also I don't know your housing setup, but that's not something that really would have a place in any home other than maybe in a garage on a cement floor. It is very heavy and unwieldy, and frankly may even be a bit dangerous to have around due to its weight. Don't know what you're planning on using it for, but just letting you know what would be involved. If you're still interested...good luck, although I can't say convincing someone at TA to sell it to you will be easy...

    Hey anything to keep the ratio of RT cars to trolley cars high :tup:
  19. SubwayGuy

  22. SubwayGuy

    if you're talking about the new designs from that guy, no not yet

  23. SubwayGuy
    I've posted this one before but this is one of my favorites I've ever taken because of the time of day, and the sky color which almost matches the LED. It's a simple shot, but it has a cool feel to it to me, very laid back end of the work day kind of feel:
  24. SubwayGuy

    can you forward me the email the guy from TWear sent you with all the designs?

  25. SubwayGuy
