I can admit no one has even seen the R179s display as a  train, it was fun thinking of it.

There is a W via Astoria Express codebreak on YouTube.

R142A/R188 overhead now available!

That's lucky, I found the R142A side exterior that looks like this:

Do you think this will do?

The curve of the sign shape isn't that accurate, but other than that, it's fine.

Did you want a diamond for the overhead route as well? I don't have the bracket characters used for the diamonds so I won't be able to add them, so I hope it's fine if I use normal parentheses for a circle.

Sadly, the R143/R160/R179 Overheads don't often use diamond brackets like the R142/A/R188 overhead, but it seemed like it.

Don't really like you giving another request right after making a first one, but sure... could I get a reply to my response to the first request?

The  Culver Express uses parentheses in the overheads so I assume the B division does not use them.

Well, yeah, for the first one... And, I'm sorry if all these requests tire you out. Hopefully you don't get too exhausted.

I'm probably gonna take a break for a few hours before suggesting something else.

That's alright. I try my best to take my time.

Anyways, here they are:

I'm back, but the R160 signage is going to take a while, isn't it?

What do you mean?

Finding the right texts, it does take time, a lot of us know that

I still don't know what you mean...

What the R160 looked like, from both the Alstom and Kawasaki industries, the outside text of the R160A/B has more space  than the R143, for the B-Division.

As for the A-Division, there isn't as much space on the R142/A/188 interior. As the R142/A/188's exterior route only contains numbers and the "S", their destination has a maximum of 20 spaces. There was no "0" for the A-Division subway car signs.

I mean, sure... the signs aren't confined to a set number of characters, though.
