StevenFrancis Posted December 4, 2013 Share #1326 Posted December 4, 2013 I wonder are the interior and side signs gonna turn off when they switch words like on the R142s or just switch staying on like the other models? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted December 4, 2013 Share #1327 Posted December 4, 2013 I doubt it. The only reason why the 142 signs flicker between readings is because of the particular displays used. The 142s use signs made by Pocatec while the 142As and up use signs by either Luminator or Telecite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted December 12, 2013 Share #1328 Posted December 12, 2013 They should also have the bullet in the side sign. They should definitely have it in the front. I can,t tell whether it is an or an(F) unless an R46 comes and I know it's an F. I hope it would be an R46 E and then we would all start foming Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexAveExp5 Posted December 27, 2013 Share #1331 Posted December 27, 2013 maybe for fun they're cool but not when you have to make perfect station stops and if you're trying to get to the punch box and stop short the conductor opens up because the 32s have no door enablers! lol (yes, it happened to me) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You down voted my post "R142 > R12", you threw a tantrum in the chat, and now you're assuming that I meant the A division was 100% NTT based off of my post to Lexaveexpress.

At any rate he's pissed off with someone else entirely, so, while I normally wouldn't, I'll apologize in his behalf. And then on the next page I clearly said I was just having fun. Dude, we could both lament on and on about this but it's apparent to most everyone that some members around here take miniscule unimportant issues quite seriously. I'm not naming anyone but it's usually the same people, that's my piece. I am flattered that you always feel compelled to mention my name when this discussion comes up. Really, I am.

realizm Posted December 28, 2013 Share #1346 Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) I'm just here counting the days away until the first set hits the test tracks (Sea Beach, Rockaways, Culver Viaduct or whatnot) on 12/22/2014 before its 30 day is scheduled to begin in March 2015. That's all I know. Lets hope another devastating hurricane does not come out of nowhere and delays this further like it did with the R188 intro because the Rockaways tracks got all washed up delaying conditional acceptance testing.

I don't have the time to waste getting angry about something a bunch of strangers said online. I've already said that my usage of swear words does not indicate that I am angry - here it is again: Not for nothing, but since when did swearing suddenly become an instant sign of anger? I, and many others, have sworn many times before when we were not even remotely pissed off. I am as calm as I've ever been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Sea Beach's "test track" about to become a revenus track some time in 2014? They are taking one local track out of service to renovate stations from 8 Avenue to Bay Parkway.

Very likely that may be how the CCC may approach station and benchwall restoration work throughout the entire open cut line, by utilizing the middle track as they start shutting down platforms for long term overhaul.
