R10 2952 Posted November 9, 2016 Share #3226 Posted November 9, 2016 Reminds me of how several R42s (4680-1, 4714-5, 4766-7) were scrapped in the '80s before the GOH even began. Word is they were already revenue inactive in the '70s so seeing how that wasn't even 10 years into their lifespan, I'm betting it was structural defects... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted November 13, 2016 Share #3227 Posted November 13, 2016 I have an update from Javier via email: "3015-3017 have completed all of their water, vibration and vertical stability tests, and are 90% complete. 3018 is still having major shell design problems (at this point they may have to scrap it.) 3019 is still experiencing power issues, they may need to rebuild the whole entire car circuit. 3015 I have no word on yet except that it passed everything and is 90% complete, so I'll see where that gets us." It seems as if that there are still major problems. Remember, this is only the second five-car set. If they are working on other cars now then they might have the same problem. If they are not, that means that they are way behind schedule. This should get into the newspapers. This is getting ridiculous. These cars were supposed to be delivered by mid-September, two months ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted November 13, 2016 Share #3234 Posted November 13, 2016 Then the question is, whether we can trust what he's saying as truth. As I recall, he's stated many things that are either completely wrong or were just a wild guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted November 13, 2016 Share #3236 Posted November 13, 2016 The one thing he has been right on is the R179. I would have to agree on that. He has some inside information concerning the R179s and he does have information concerning the AAS. He asked me to post things for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10 2952 Posted November 13, 2016 Share #3237 Posted November 13, 2016 Yeah but 95% of everything else was nonsense... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted November 14, 2016 Share #3238 Posted November 14, 2016 He wanted me to post this. I know, I have lied about some things in the past, but I swear the information on the 179's and AAS programs are true. I still honestly don't know why I was banned, I've had good forum etiquette since I joined. Sure, I've had a rough past on the forms before but still, don't you think everyone deserves a second chance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted November 14, 2016 Share #3242 Posted November 14, 2016 I thought Javier would be banned for his material, not because he had two accounts. Wonder what other profile he made. Anyways........ How's testing on 3010-3014 going? Do they have any flaws that need to be worked out still. Are they performing well in the Rockaways? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will make it easier to distinguish routes from further distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
