FamousNYLover Posted January 28, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 28, 2009 I still cannot tell the difference between. R142/R143/R160 I know R142 is IRT, R143 is BMT and R160 is BMT/IND. Orion 07.501 Hybrid and CNG Orion 07.501 Next Generation Hybrid and CNG R44 and R46 R32 and R38 R40/R40M/R42 R62A/R62 R68/R68A CNG/Detroise Diseal for LIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbirdbassist Posted January 28, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 28, 2009 R142/143 are really stupidly obvious. R143 and 160 are slightly different. R32 an 38 are REALLY obvious, it's all on the outside. R40 and R40M are really obvious too. R40M and R42 the differences are slight on the outside, major on the inside. R44 and R46 are I believe something like 95% identicle.

Built buy St. Louis company Built buy Pullman Standard The only differences are they make different sounds and have different numbers (R44: 5202-5479, R46: 5482-6207, 6208-6258 even only).

The stripe in the middle of the car body is carbon steel on the R44s, and stainless steel on the R46s. There is a noticeable lack of luster on the R44's carbon steel stripe.

SevenEleven Posted January 28, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 28, 2009 R40 speaking in general consists of R40 Slants and R40 Modified. R40 Slants have the slant ends, and were the original order for the R40. Due to safety concerns, the R40M evolved. It's the exact same thing as the R40S except that its A car end has a straight end as opposed to the Slant. http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?72342 Comparing R40s to R42, the corrugations are much more wider on the R42 than a R40. http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?89789 --------------- R142 are broken down to just R142, and R142A. (And the R142S which is the same thing as the R142A) For R142s, the propulsion is from Alstom while on a R142A/S, it a BTPC 1508C. If you take a look at the A car end of a R142, you will see that the cab was a 2-piece install. (Look at the line at the top of the storm door) On a R142A/S, its just one piece, and you don't see a line at all. An easy way of distinguishing between the two is that a R142 looks sad, while a R142A has a more darker "face" so to say. Inside the R142s, a R142 Interior Info display flashes on and off between displays. On a R142A, it just switches to the next one how it does on a R143/R160. R142s run on the and lines. R142A/S run on the and occasionally on the and lines. http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?89841 << R142 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?71679 ---------------- The R143 is a car of its own and it pretty much was based off the R142A and set a standard for the R160. It has the same propulsion as the R142A, and it is exclusively for East New York Yard. (They only have make appearances on the , and .) Inside, the R143 has only one door on its B car end. R143s have strip maps like the R142s. Also, there is an extra passenger display on the other side of the exterior route display. http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?3648 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?3645 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?3649 ---------------- The R160s can be broken down into R160As, and R160Bs. In general, all R160s have the flag under the MTA logo (like Curake pointed out), and they have artwork on the other side of the exterior route display. R160s also have FINDs instead of strip maps. On the B car ends, they have 2 doors like the R142s. R160As can be broken into R160A-1s and R160A-2s. R160A-1s are 4 car sets, and are for East New York Yard. (Runs on the and possibly run on the , and due to their configurations) They have Alstom propulsion. R160A-2s are 5 car sets, and they are meant for pretty much any route. They also have Alstom propulsion. R160Bs aren't broken down further. They are built in 5 car sets, and have either Alstom or Siemens propulsion. (There's a distinct difference) R160Bs run out of Coney Island Yard on the and lines. http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?79935 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?89233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted January 29, 2009 Share #7 Posted January 29, 2009 Yuki you don't need to be so specific with the bus names. Just call them Orion 7s and Orion 7 NGs for Next Generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
