ctrain Posted January 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2010 I was wondering if there is going to be a SMS for the R62 and 68's where they get the roll signs updated to LED display board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted January 21, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 21, 2010 Some of the cars are getting SMS's now and there are no plans to do this that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTrainExp Posted January 21, 2010 Share #5 Posted January 21, 2010 R62s don't need rollsigns as they run on independent car classes designed for their routes. For example, you would never see an R62A run on the , so there's no need in putting an electronic sign. Plus, the only has one specific terminal, not branches like the along with the . The R62As on the have their own cars which are not split with the or any other route on the system and the gets to keep their cars. _______ Same with the ( and the . You would rarely see R68s on the and R68As on the , so there's no need for signs. Plus, R68s via Broadway are obsolete except for the , so you would know that it would be a if you see a train with no bright lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted January 21, 2010 Share #6 Posted January 21, 2010 I dont think thats possible especial since SMS is meant for repainting car ends, HVAC change and general. LED changes were during GOH, which no longer exist today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Line1291 Posted January 22, 2010 Share #7 Posted January 22, 2010 It would be hot of R62/A's and R68/A's get LED/digital signs. As many service changes and G.O's there are these days, LED signs would be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin Posted January 22, 2010 Share #11 Posted January 22, 2010 No cars received LED signage during GOH. Yeah they did R44/46. Although on second thought I think they are LCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted January 22, 2010 Share #12 Posted January 22, 2010 Yeah they did R44/46. Although on second thought I think they are LCD. They are LCD and they had to add a small computer system to run the LCD signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted January 22, 2010 Share #13 Posted January 22, 2010 Although on second thought I think they are LCD. That is correct. LCD and LED are two different things. Like I said above, no car received LED's during GOH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
