R32 3348 10 #6 Posted August 3, 2009 nice! wikipedia already updated;) WTF? I thought some poster doesn't allow videos of the new stuff in service because "trains can be pulled from service the day after they enter service". Because we all know how often that happens...>_> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LRG 216 #7 Posted August 3, 2009 I took that set on the N when it came out about a month ago! Um, this was it's first day in service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because we all know how often that happens...>_> exactly, i just ignore that crap, since i'm the one that usually checks for updates to post on wikipedia anyway. apparently, they don't know how things roll around here. btw, with so many cars arriving and being put into service (30 in the last week or so), i can't help but wonder out loud: any news on the retirements, the've obviously been sending trains to the scrapping lines, but no word on specifics in about a month!:confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maserati7200 31 #10 Posted August 3, 2009 I took that set on the N when it came out about a month ago! No you didn't. A month ago it was at the Kawasaki plant. Maybe you're thinking of the 89xx's but those were here a year and a half ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R44 5278 0 #11 Posted August 3, 2009 I took an 89xx, but it was probably the last train of the R160A base order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTR Admiralty 4 #12 Posted August 3, 2009 I took an 89xx, but it was probably the last train of the R160A base order. The last train out of the base order of the R160A is 8703-8712 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R44 5278 0 #13 Posted August 3, 2009 Sorry guys I'm a mess today. That train could've been an R160A or R160B option 2 numbered 98xx. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LRG 216 #14 Posted August 3, 2009 Sorry guys I'm a mess today. That train could've been an R160A or R160B option 2 numbered 98xx. It's an R160B Option II. The R160A order is done. The highest R160 now in service is car no. 9812. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTR Admiralty 4 #15 Posted August 3, 2009 It's an R160B Option II. The R160A order is done. The highest R160 now in service is car no. 9812. The R160A isn't done. Alstom is going to wrap up the first option order and then will begin on the second option of 232 cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LRG 216 #16 Posted August 3, 2009 The R160A isn't done. Alstom is going to wrap up the first option order and then will begin on the second option of 232 cars. Oh, I keep forgetting A is Alstom and B is Kawasaki. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maserati7200 31 #17 Posted August 3, 2009 I took an 89xx, but it was probably the last train of the R160A base order. Well the 89xx's are R160B Siemens sets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R44 5278 0 #18 Posted August 4, 2009 Well the 89xx's are R160B Siemens sets. I remembered Alstom acceleration on my ride so it was probably an R160A. Anyhow, it's like a blur to me now since it was a month ago and I should've taped it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R44 5278 0 #20 Posted August 4, 2009 Alstom traction units are also found on R160Bs as well I know, but he was referring to the fact that the 98XX R160Bs have Siemens traction units. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LRG 216 #21 Posted August 4, 2009 I know, but he was referring to the fact that the 98XX R160Bs have Siemens traction units. Um, no they don't. R160B 98xx have Alstom propulsion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R44 5278 0 #22 Posted August 4, 2009 Like I said guys, I'm a mess today and had been going off with everything someone else states. I'm sorry that I can't remember something a month ago and I apologize if anyone perceived me as foaming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maserati7200 31 #23 Posted August 4, 2009 Um, no they don't. R160B 98xx have Alstom propulsion. R44 meant to say 89xx's because he was referring to what I said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
