VIP Posted December 16, 2015 Share #3626 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I hear of a SMS-ish maintenance of the R42s that is occuring (starting with a few cars). They still look beat the hell up. It's amazing how the R32's are older but look much better than the R42's The R40M's should have been spared instead of the R42s IMO.

MHV9218 Posted January 20, 2016 Share #3634 Posted January 20, 2016 So to be clear, does anybody think there is a best guess of when the R32 leaves Dyckman? Is there any pattern, if not a set time--i.e., usually leaves around 6pm or 6:30 or something like that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R10 2952 Posted January 21, 2016 Share #3645 Posted January 21, 2016 R-42 SMS? About damn time. Those things have been seeping rainwater since at least the early 2000s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted January 21, 2016 Share #3646 Posted January 21, 2016 Why didn't they SMS them when the R32 got theirs? Because TA thought they were retiring them in 2013-2016 but with the R179 order being delayed and needing additional trains, they have to SMS these, the R32's is due for another SMS in 2018, but might be pushed forward between 2016-17 so they can keep em running for the next 7-9 years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted January 21, 2016 Share #3650 Posted January 21, 2016 Them R32s wouldn't be at the bottom of the barrel in terms of reliability if the R32s were taken care of..These cars are 52 years old and there is still a decent number of them left in service so the number to average is higher.The R42's did improve slightly so they are caring for them a bit better. I'm not surprised the R32's decreased in MDBF because these trains were designed to be retired about 10 years ago. All you need is the R32's to start dropping like flies and then you are really in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
