R32 3348 Posted August 3, 2009 Share #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...>_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted August 3, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted August 3, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted August 3, 2009 Share #11 Posted August 3, 2009 I took an 89xx, but it was probably the last train of the R160A base order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted August 3, 2009 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted August 3, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted August 3, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted August 3, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted August 3, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted August 4, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R44 5278 Posted August 4, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted August 4, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted August 4, 2009 Share #22 Posted August 4, 2009 Like I said guys, I'm a mess today and had been going off with everything someone else states.

Maserati7200 Posted August 4, 2009 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
