Running the W express route. Nice graphics, and I like how there's not roof this time, so you can see the train from the outside when the in the tunnels.

One word of advice though: don't EVER try to impersonate a female conductor's voice with a male voice. It sounds ATROCIOUS. Bleh, hurts my ears.

Other than that, great graphics and nice job developing.

That ain't no impersonation. This is actually his little brother (trust me I heard him many times) doing these announcements and he still has the accent.

Anyway the line is awesome. I showed this to the members of Jamaica Yard and are impressed as hell with the way OpenBVE is. Nice work cuz.

Will 14 have those small statues? I know its minor, but I'm just saying, 14th isn't really 14th without those statues.

Good point 14th St is very unique and those statutes are like the finishing touches.
BTW If I'm not mistaken there is NO 4,6,8 10 car marker at 14th St S/B local track because both the (C)harlie train and the (E) stop at the S and I think under the S is the Opto S sign.I'm pretty damn sure about that so there won't be a need to prove it.

14th Street has the 4-6-8-10 car markers on the Northbound Platform of 14th in which is what this line is. The S car marker is for the Southbound platform of the station. So basically RachelFan's picture is accurate.

when will them pieces of trash R62/A's be retired? they have been here long enough its time for them to go. when exactly will they be replaced by New Tech Trains?

Unless they develop major issues, then 2020-2025 the earliest.

I would like to see this alleged 152/153 you created because if it's the trains that me, BlueBlitz20 and PuertoRican88 made, that is NOT to be modified nor tampered with, then there's gonna be a huge problem. Also, don't say that you got permission from the developer(s) because you clearly didn't.

Transit / Re: did a train derail if yes what train line was it

« on: March 15, 2011, 09:06:32 am »

I forgot if it was a collision or a derailment, but anyone remember; I believe it was a B train right before Dekalb Ave, this was probably a long while back when some of the forum members were still in the single digit years.

Another one, can't really say it was a derailment but kind of caused one?  The L train incident at Rockaway.

I remembered that incident - it was a D train that derailed right before DeKalb Ave.

Transit / Re: R160 (C)?

r 179? the mta already bought 500 units of r 179's. how do i know this i went on nycsubway.org and looked up the order form from Kawasaki. its nothing really special they are using an old design from the r11 that was never used in the 60's and the design is for the exterior. they are going to begin again with the old cushion seat design that was used on early trains. you know when the cars had soft plush seats inside that's what i was talking about. but the mta is also ain't gonna use the r 179 for the c line. the r 179 are going to be used on the b and d lines. for the c line there going to use the alstom built r 175 trains. i heard its going to have the same design as the r 160 but a tad bit different. all the seats are going to be facing forward like a commuter train. but that design was just a sketch from alstom they say its going to look like the r160 the r46 and the r179 built together. i don't know when these cars will be released but they said the r 179 will go to the aging d and b line fleet while the r 175 go to the broken down c line fleet.

Ah as a Train Operator for the E line and potentially becoming a TSS in June (which stands for Train Service Supervisor) and part of the R179 Planning & Design team, let me say that this is the most ridicolous rumor and lies I have heard. First off, I don't know where you got the information from NYCSubway, but if you got that from there then that site is full of shit. Second off, theres NO R175 Revenue Service order - theyres no such thing except in the BVEStation world (unless that's what you could be talking about). Third and lastly, the R179 order hasn't even been given a builder NOR hasn't even gotten a train assignment listing yet - why would they pick line assignments if they didn't even make it yet (COMMON SENSE) AND it's for 290 60' cars (with a option of about 100-150 more cars) that will look identical to the R160. So do me a favor and basically all of us a favor and stop giving information that you know is not true. Thank you.
