rbrome Posted November 2, 2023 Share #6702 Posted November 2, 2023 On 10/29/2023 at 1:57 AM, ABOGbrooklyn said: How severe is the R211 issue? I'd love to know as well. It's impossible for most of us to say for sure, and it's unlikely the MTA or manufacturer will detail it for the public. With that said, it is fun to speculate... I can imagine a scenario where it's quite simple. People have said oil is leaking. Perhaps there's just a gasket that's poorly manufactured, or poorly designed, and replacing with a new one will fix it. Or it could even be process... something isn't being tightened enough at the factory, etc. But there are also a thousand ways it could be more complicated and more difficult to fix. The fact that they're shipping these thinking they're fine, and then they're failing so quickly and so dramatically... to me that indicates either a huge mistake somewhere, or a more complex interaction of things in a way that was difficult to predict and possibly also difficult to diagnose and/or fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxwell179 Posted November 2, 2023 Share #6708 Posted November 2, 2023 22 minutes ago, Ale188 said: Well, what's an anticlimber It a metal piece on the end of train cars to prevent them from climbing on top of each other in case of a derailment. Anyone feel free to correct me on this analogy/example but let’s say a 4-car train of 160s (A-B-B-A) crashed into a bumper block, the anticlimbers would stop the B car from sliding forwards and either ramming completely through the car in front of it or bucking upwards and taking the top the train car in front of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Rider Posted November 2, 2023 Share #6712 Posted November 2, 2023 Welp… finally did it. Finally got a turn on the 211T… Their software still has the “doors open ->” display on the ceiling and the pre-programmed side lights up ahead of time. Gonna be fun the first time Euclid brings an express in on the local at the last second. Watching the empty train move between stations, the body bending around the curves, rising and falling with the grades was… it was fascinating. It was mesmerizing… it might also have been nauseating but that might just have been something like a sinus infection showing up at the worst possible time. It’s about two hours later and I’m still feeling funky. (I am going to assume it was the latter because I have only ever thrown up after getting off a ride once and that was that piece of trash coaster in NJ that fell into the ocean and that not just my opinion, she was known to be a rough ride) 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
