B41 Posted July 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2008 I have been noticing that some of the R46 cars have been cleaned and they look almost brand new. Anymore would is more likely to see them on the and lines. Sometimes they show up on the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted July 22, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 22, 2008 Most R46 subway cars are as good as new, I ride them on the a lot, and occasionally the . Before, they weren't so clean, but now they're good. The is really making good use since the scratched windows have been replaced regularly.

trainfan22 Posted July 22, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 22, 2008 The reason why some R46's look brand new is because they just got SMS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ023 Posted July 22, 2008 Share #5 Posted July 22, 2008 Between the R32 and R46's on the E and F, looks like they will phase out the squeaking breaks on the R32 and refurbish the R46. E and F likely wont get new cars for a long time yet since if they are refurbishing the R46's then they likely expect them to be in use for awhile yet. The R32's are just a phase out of the worse cars apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted July 22, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 22, 2008 I'm not liking the flat chrome spray-painted front ends of the R46s. It just doesn't look right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted July 22, 2008 Share #8 Posted July 22, 2008 Harry, after a few days on the it will be back to the dirty color every one knows and loves. Plus I have seen several R46 sets on the that look like they may have been layed-up under leaky pipes and look filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will believe it when I see it. Seems like all the new R160's are going on lines other than E and F to date. When I see a new car, I'll be shocked as will others.

R32 3348 Posted July 22, 2008 Share #11 Posted July 22, 2008 The R46s are getitng SMSed, which means it's time they're spruced up again. They're getting new HVAC units (AC, AKA better and more efficient AC) along with the Mylar screneprotectors (much less scratchitti), and I THINK new floors. They're defnitely not the black ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I have seen several R46 sets on the that look like they may have been layed-up under leaky pipes and look filthy. I have been seeing that a lot lately. It's all over the front ends as well as the sides. It's like they're layed-up under a leaky sewer pipe or under a rusty waterfall. The other morning I saw an R46 with half of an entire side as well as two sets of door panels covered in it. Gross! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOB2RTO Posted July 22, 2008 Share #17 Posted July 22, 2008 Oh Lawdy, I rode that F line Yesterday, and those trucks on some of those cars, BANG!, into the underbody, when accelerating....Outside of that, I wish the Heepos came like themselves, but with the interior of the R46 (tan walls, wood or fake wood guards, middle isle light with two around windows, etc)....
