Dave160 Posted September 9, 2010 Share #277 Posted September 9, 2010 For the fullsize thing apparently you have to manually copy and paste http://image83.webshots.com/83/9/85/99/2096985990054618804lMvtqt_fs.jpg it into your browser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Railer Posted September 10, 2010 Share #282 Posted September 10, 2010 This was uploaded a few days ago... credit goes to Marbledillon.... And yeah, the M8's definitely sound DIFFERENT in comparison to the M7s.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted September 10, 2010 Share #283 Posted September 10, 2010 I know i'm probably knocking on the wrong door with this one, but does anyone have any propulsion specs on the M8? IGBT? GTO? Motor specs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTO? Motor specs? It has the same specs as the M7-A with the exception of the extra parts it needs to receive catenary power 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA1992 Posted September 11, 2010 Share #286 Posted September 11, 2010 I dont think the porpulsion is different, I think its just on a higher pitch. Just how like some BART cars Bombardier propulsion is higher pitched than that of the R142A and R143. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracamonte Posted September 11, 2010 Share #287 Posted September 11, 2010 So, does anyone have any idea when will the M8 start running full service? I heard they supposed to start running at the end of last year, but so far, nothing has happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still testing.It has to be tested 200,000 miles to be put into actual service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with him and he said it sounded the same. nah... and they're not the same spec.... the M8's also employ Mitsu's new Permanent Magnet Motors... hence the different sound from the M7's... just compare that vid that was posted of the M8 to videos of the M7's. the M8 has a higher, but lower volume pitch from the motors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how like some BART cars Bombardier propulsion is higher pitched than that of the R142A and R143. and by different, i mean different model of traction motor... of course i know it's still provided by the same company.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt91 Posted September 14, 2010 Share #293 Posted September 14, 2010 Am I the only one here who thinks these cars are hideous? Nope. The front is horrid, and from what I've seen so far, the inside has way too much red 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
