I noticed that after seeing your last few vids.

As for the sounds, sure, you can send them to me. Or you can post them yourself. Either way, I'm sure the community would appreciate better quality announcements.

Pacific385 is right. R143's only run on the (L), and the (L) only operates 8-car trains. Anyways, good luck with this train...

I've also seen them on the (M).  They might not run on the (M) anymore though cause it became part of the 6th ave line.

The only time the M uses the R143 is weekends and late nights for the shuttle.

Again, the (M) hasn't used the R143s for any service since the R160s started arriving in 2007.

Actually, they fixed that error in one of the recent updates. Proof. Of course, we won't hear them anytime soon, so nobody can record the corrected announcements.

R142 Interior LED
R142A Interior LED no, they aren't the same

R160 Exterior Destination/Routing LED

You're welcome.

I've finally finished updating the recordings for all the lines. For the most part, they are minor updates. However, there are big updates on the (2), (4), World Trade Ctr-bound (E) and especially the (Q). For all the latest and best sounds available (well the ones I'm able to get), visit my 4shared page here.

@Bill: You can delete the link to the weekend version of the (Q) as I merged the two folders together since both R160 programs now use the same announcements.

@Lexington456: Actually it has more to do with the route file, not the train file. It also doesn't have much to do with station time, though in my opinion, that should be at around 15 seconds so both the departing announcement (x-bound train, the next stop is x) and the Stand Clear ones can play before the doors close. Currently, on most routes, the departing announcement on most routes is programed to play as the doors are closing as opposed to when the doors open at a station. Since the routes were supposed to use older equipment, it really didn't matter at the time.

My offer to "fix" the route files is still on the table, though I'd appreciate if the developers give me the okay before I upload anything, lest anyone accuse me of stealing anything.

EDIT 08/16 13:02 - NTTs via West End
In commemoration of the (D)'s extension into Brooklyn, I'm releasing announcements for lines rerouted along the West End line.

Today, we have the downtown (Q). You know the deal, two files: one zipped, one w/ the individual files.
zipped files
individual files
You're welcome

EDIT 08/17 08:14 - Continuing Down the West End
Here's the (N) from Atlantic Av-Pacific St to Coney Island. The full (N) via Sea Beach will be released eventually.
zipped files
individual files

EDIT 08/24 12:41 - Finishing Up the West End (for now)
Now for something I've been sitting on for a while - the southbound (D) (well the Brooklyn portion at least)
individual files
zipped files
The full (D) will be released as soon as I get the Bronx and Manhattan announcements. Enjoy.

I especially hope to see a Nassau Street (J), (Z) line soon...

What happened to the (Z) that was near completion?

If I recall correctly, the (J) and (Z) are on hold in favor of completing the south Brooklyn routes first.

Yeah..., that's gonna keep happening as the file names for the sounds I uploaded don't correspond to the original ones the routes have. Don't fret though as I have updated the file for the correct R160 announcements. Download the new route file here. Please note when downloading and unzipping the sounds files, they must be in the following directory or they won't play:

They are NOT on the (M), they were ONLY on the M Shuttle not the (M) to Bay Parkway, IIRC that was only a test, only R160's run on the (M), the (M) having R143 did not affect the move to 6 Ave, that idea wasn't even discussed yet when the M ran 143

To add on, The R143s were on the (M) shuttle until the R160s started being delivered to East New York in 2007.

@Ddatrainman: It's actually "Norwood, Bronx", not "Inwood...". Inwood is in Northern Manhattan.

Another question: Does the Manhattan bound Concourse Express actually run on the local track? There were many switches to the express track and I was wondering why the train didn't use those switches...

In reality, the southbound (D) express uses the "diverging" track to the right just south of Bedford Park Blvd, which becomes the express track from Kingsbridge Rd to 145 St.

Also, you might have noticed the thread title has changed again. That's because, in addition to the R160 FINDs and R46 LCDs, I'm now making interior LED displays for the R142s, R142As and R160s and exterior displays for the R160s.

R142 Interior:


R142A Interior:


R160 Interior:


R160 Exterior:


They're small in order to fit the signature max on the forums. Finally, does anyone know a good R142(A)-style exterior font around?

Not to my knowledge no. Like previously stated, most development here centers around the subway system and its trains.

It's been a while hasn't it? 

Anyhow, I'm back to posting recordings I've come across, but before I start posting new announcements, I figured I'd update the ones we have already.

Today's update: the (F) to Jamaica-179 St
added correct and/or better sounding transfers to the following stations:

• Jay St-MetroTech (LN)/(OT)
• 2 Av (LN)
• Broadway-Lafayette St (wkdays)
• W 4 St-Washington Sq (wkdays)
• 14 St (wkdays)
• 34 St-Herald Sq (wkdays)/(LN)
• 42 St-Bryant Park (wkdays)
• 47-50 Sts/Rockefeller Ctr (wkdays)
• Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av (wkdays)/(wknds)

You can download the individual files here or the zipped folder here.

Also, on a slightly off topic note, I was wondering how the developers would feel about me fixing the route files so the automated announcements play when the doors open rather than when they're closing.
