Guest Charles Posted May 2, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 2, 2009 Blue seats are not that uncommon on R46s that have undergone SMS. You'll also find that they have "shinier" ends than other R46s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but not all SMS-ed cars received blue seats and black floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted May 2, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 2, 2009 is that the only R46 that has the blue seats? i caught that on thursday. are there any others???? I remember that I caught 5562 with these features as well back on Christmas. It's on one of my videos, but I didn't record the number on the train.

R32 3348 Posted May 2, 2009 Share #5 Posted May 2, 2009 True, but not all SMS-ed cars received blue seats and black floors. It's only for the cars that need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted May 2, 2009 Share #6 Posted May 2, 2009 It's only for the cars that need them. Yeah if their seats or floors need repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSmith Posted May 4, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 4, 2009 True, but not all SMS-ed cars received blue seats and black floors. Thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted May 4, 2009 Share #10 Posted May 4, 2009 When the R44s get their mini SMS, many of them could really make use of some black floors and blue seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maserati7200 Posted May 4, 2009 Share #11 Posted May 4, 2009 When the R44s get their mini SMS, many of them could really make use of some black floors and blue seats. I really think the R44 needs new HVAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted May 5, 2009 Share #12 Posted May 5, 2009 Even though most of the R44s are stored at Pitkin, they are still one of the worse treated cars in the system. It was the MTA's fault for giving some of them a GOH at Coney Island and to not replace their blues strips with stainless steel like that of the SIRT R44s and the R46s. Furthermore, St Louis Car Co should not be blamed b/c the R44s were ahead of their time (same goes with the R46s) and motormen weren't familiar with the then-new technology, which caused their "plagues." The R44s should definitely the same treatment as those bumpy R46s for they are just as good as the newer cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
