metsfan Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted December 20, 2009 How is that thing supposed to be ventilated? Well it's all electric, so no fumes, but generally the trains push/pull air in front/behind them, there is a 100% change rate every say 3-5 trains i believe since you gotta take into account the service shaft's air. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
