It's not so much the size of the controller handle as it is the size of the whole controller box itself and in that regard, the LIRR M type wouldn't be an improvement at all. As for the GOH R-46s, the 2 manufacturers' products that were tested were the standard WABCO cineston and the NYAB version. Westcode wasn't even in the running for that one but that may be because WABCO took over the Westcode company which was British Westinghouse anyhow. Up until that time, NYAB didn't even have a version of the WABCO cineston and had to come up with one in order to satisfy NYCTA requirements for GOH on the R-46s which stated in part that "the master controller shall be a WABCO cineston or equivalent." |
