Re: Both R10 cars are on the schedule

Yes, BIG differences...

R-7A #1575 has an AMUE braking system, 190 H.P. motors, and a D-2-F or D-3-F compressor, weighing at 82,340 lbs.

R-10's have SMEE braking system, four 100 H.P. motors, and WABCO A-1 3YC compressors (original), weighing each at 81,200 lbs. They also had dynamic braking and improved propulsion. with their quick start-up and go.

The door release off (them after closed) each sound different, as well as the brake and motor noises. No smells from the R-10's and the later SMEE's. Also, the R-1/9's are not compatible with the R-10's.
