jamesman8 Posted October 31, 2016 Share #3176 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) So my filmmakers ear wasn't wrong. Subarashii. Sent from my N9132 using Tapatalk Correct. The inverter number I received is exactly the same as the one on the 5000 series. The interior sign's looks a lot similar to the ones on the R110A, with more space, but with the use of the R160 LED components. The exterior signs however look like the ones on the R143's. The 179 has almost the exact same FIND display as the 160. The FIND displays are manufactured by Panasonic. All routes are programmed into the AAS. The FIND on the 179 is just the newer model of the display. Basically the only change on the 179 FIND is the fact that they have a larger LCD screen where the route is displayed. Other then that the system is basically the same. from an employee matches to that of the 5000 series.

NO not the FIND SYSTEM I'm talking about the interior signs that display "THE NEXT STOP IS". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody got a nice close pic of the LCD video screen portion of the new FINDs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interior display on the ceiling looks longer and sharper-edged than the R160's. That really stands out for some reason. Sent from my iPad using NYC Transit Forums mobile app Exactly! There is a quite obvious difference between the R160s and the R179s from the look of it.

Here a pic of a interior of an R179 interior FIND (not mine) of what they look like looks exactly like an R179. Edit: The link is messed up I'll post later.

Edit: The link is messed up I'll post later. May I add any leaked photos will get staff members in trouble, (inside shots e.t.c). Heard today that a guy posted a video of testing on SAS. Apparently the guy got sacked after the media picked up the video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA Bus Posted November 1, 2016 Share #3184 Posted November 1, 2016 Did any see that the seats are white instead of blue ! That would actually look cool and would be a nice change for once, but we all know the MTA wouldn't do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Railer Posted November 1, 2016 Share #3187 Posted November 1, 2016 3010-3014 are out today. Currently waiting for line up at Liberty junction to broad channel as of 11:30 am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtehpanda Posted November 1, 2016 Share #3188 Posted November 1, 2016 That would actually look cool and would be a nice change for once, but we all know the MTA wouldn't do that. White things rank with fiber seats in terms of ease of cleaning. Blue plastic is the way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard today that a guy posted a video of testing on SAS. Apparently the guy got sacked after the media picked up the video. Whoever shot that video of SAS track testing and put it up should have known this was going to happen. That NDA that you sign isn't just a piece of silly paper. It's a LEGALLY BINDING document, and if you violate it, the agency is free to do whatever they want to you in terms of your employment with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted November 1, 2016 Share #3192 Posted November 1, 2016 READ FIRST: On my second try today, 11/1/16, I was able to grab the remaining clips I wished to get of the R179 track testing in the Rockaways. Here is the full compilation of video of the test train I have from both dates, 10/28 and 11/1. First, we have the shots of the train moving, which provide good sample sound for the propulsion. Basically, the pitch changes follow the same profile as the R160B Siemens sets, but the actual sound itself is of a different type. Next we have the set walkdown @ Broad Channel. And interesting thing to note is that one truck in the set, the number 2 end truck of 3010, is a trailer truck (unpowered). All other trucks are motorized. Whether this is purely an instrumental testing truck, or if this feature will be part of the order remains to be seen. LoL at the employee joking about dropping the window and telling buffs to stop filming =P And finally, we have clips of the test train actually on the test track, shot from other A trains passing the test track area. Enjoy the action, and stay tuned for clips from system-wide clearance testing which is to happen soon, hopefully =) Photos: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1314300565288558.1073741953.100001258801227&type=1&l=c46cc73f89 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly qualifies as "built", like finished R179's or FINSHED car shells? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted November 1, 2016 Share #3194 Posted November 1, 2016 Really great job! Not many people could have done that better! Why would they have it be unpowered? Are there any advantages/disadvantages of doing this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted November 1, 2016 Share #3195 Posted November 1, 2016 Things I noticed from that video.. The compressor is loud. The font on the side signs is different than the 143/160 The propulsion at its highest pitch is as loud as an subway car with screeching brakes, any fans who hate 32s with screechy brakes are gonna be disappointed with these 179s, imagine how loud it is in the tunnel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyboy515 Posted November 1, 2016 Share #3196 Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) The font on the side signs is different than the 143/160I think the N and the S in Not In Service is bolded. It's the same font, but without the bold.

They are very loud because it lets employee's know whether or not the motors are working correctly, which is an advantage to current motors which can be more difficult to find problems with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
