DJ MC Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3252 Posted January 20, 2014 Those down votes though ... The side signs need to be replaced on the converted sets. I've seen worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Local Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3253 Posted January 20, 2014 The ENTIRE R142A fleet is going to be converted to R188s, The R142's will have FIND displays installed. As for where the displaced R62A's will be going, watch for some interesting fleet assignments over the next few years. Eventually, I see all lines except the 2 and 5 running mixed fleets of NTT's and R62/62A's. The 62/62A fleet should be rebuilt with AC propulsion, digital signs, automatic announcements, and CBTC capabilities. I'd also like to see the entire subway fleet made FRA compliant. Ok, smart one... *sarcasm* I've seen worse.

6 Lexington Ave Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3265 Posted January 20, 2014 I've asked this before but how come the brand new cars lack the flag? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3266 Posted January 20, 2014 You know what's actually starting to annoy me? People ACTUALLY thinking that the converted cars would have gotten something more than the installation of CBTC. People complaining on how all the NTTs look the same. Without even knowing the reasons. Even though the reason is only three words. For "fans" or "buffs" (why does that second word irk me?), people complain a lot for no reason. --------------------------------------------- Oh, and why don't the new cars have the flag? They might just be putting them on later. That or the finally realized how sucky America has become. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People ACTUALLY thinking that the converted cars would have gotten something more than the installation of CBTC. People complaining on how all the NTTs look the same. Without even knowing the reasons. Even though the reason is only three words. Concerning the first, I'd think they'd at least get a cleaning. I mean, they were sitting idle with mechanical problems for months. How hard would it have been to get a crew with some sponges and a mop and tidy up the damn thing? Also, I really wanted them to fix the damn brakes on those cars. When they were on the 6, it was like riding an untamed horse with all the buckling the train does trying to stop. Regarding your second point, I really don't care about the train's looks. I mean I really can't stand those periwinkle seats that keep permeating the entire fleet of cars from the new techs to the older trains, but that's a minor gripe I have. After all, look at the history of the subway cars. Most orders made within the same decade or so looked pretty much the same with maybe a few cosmetic differences. It's a maintenance thing. Similar designs keep the costs down on parts. Edited January 20, 2014 by Lance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Lexington Ave Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3269 Posted January 20, 2014 Has the ride quality improved on the converted sets? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62AR33 Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3270 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Has the ride quality improved on the converted sets? It's abit worse then the still buckles and they have to break hard , im not sure if it was the set or not , but going into willets point the motorman had to brake hard , and it cause emergency breaks to go off .

R188 7857 Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3271 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) I think throughout the years that Corona would take care of these R142A's R188's, because It seems that the one's on the are much better. Anyways, when the is all R188, the chance of getting a brand new car to a converted car is basically the same as getting an R142A on the as to getting an R142, right?

Fresh Pond Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3273 Posted January 20, 2014 Well the brakes don't squeal anymore so at last they touched that. But there's still dirt and grime all in the vents, seats still scratched up here and they're, one of the signs is still messed up. If it was it of service for this long, you would think a conversion would also upgrade everything both inside and out to make it seem "new", not just lazily put it together. If you look at 7219 or 7220 compared to 7899, out just looks like they haphazardly suck a car in there and called it a day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3274 Posted January 20, 2014 You guys are funny if you think the MTA is going to be dropping $$$ on stuff that is not essential for a CBTC conversion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted January 20, 2014 Share #3275 Posted January 20, 2014 You guys are funny if you think the MTA is going to be dropping $$$ on stuff that is not essential for a CBTC conversion. How about stuff that's essential for making the trains run? Those buckling brakes issues cannot be good for these trains long-term. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
