Eric B Posted December 18, 2019 Share #1351 Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Quote Looks like the placement of the full color LCD screen is mirroring the placement of the rollsigns on the R68As Yes, that was well known, from the mockup. (And the sign is most likely LED, which by now have gotten small enough as pixels to reproduce a rollsign text graphic).

T to Dyre Avenue Posted December 18, 2019 Share #1352 Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Glad they decided to stick with it. They don’t always. The R142s and R143s both ended up looking noticeably different from their respective mockups, especially the R142s.

I'm not even sure that was official. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLX9304 Posted January 17, 2020 Share #1354 Posted January 17, 2020 I saw someone posted on fb about the R211s that have hit the streets of Manhattan into the 207th St yard. Can I get a confirmation and the numbers of the cars? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost feel that the numbering is some kind of pattern or the 262s can be mixed in. LIke for example, if the six car sets of the 262 are on 4 trains (24 cars), then the numbering could maybe 7937-7959 and the rest of the base and first option could be within the 3328-4255(480+445) mostly ending at 4252. (Might be a different story if it's a 3 on 3 train) but who knows. Since the base order of those cars are said to be up to 504 cars. How the 211 numbering goes forward after 4256 could be anyone's crazy guesses for all we know. just a theory....

My guess that they'll use the R38, R40/M numbers first (possibly renumber the remaining R42s or scrap them and use those numbers) and then go back to the R32 numbers for the option order once those are off the property. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I was just about to go to the NYC Bus Forums to air my grievances over the reduced frequencies for the bus routes in the Queens Bus Network Redesign, when I see this. Well, it does look very nice. I especially like the front side and end doors, which are a nice throwback to the R32s which had blue doors from when they were new until they were GOH’ed in 1989-90. In the 80s, many of the R38, 40 and 42 cars also got blue end and side doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the order for the R28 (7860-7959) that left 7960-7999 open. 8000-8009 was mixture of prototype trains that was never ordered for the BMT and later, the R110A’s 8001-8010. 8010-8019 was R11/34 & 8020-8100 was originally R27s of the 1960s that went up to 8249. 8101 to aforementioned is now part of the R143 numbering. 7937-8100 is now open 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
