The M-7 has kind of always been a basketcase. I mean sure they have been improved since, but I think the main issue it too much technology. Working on these trains is a good experience in comfort, but the computer always, and I do mean ALWAYS has something going off!! Most of the issues involve computer components (like the ASI system has a fair number of constant glitches that cause a train to not be able to be programmed, and sometimes in order to correct this, you actually have to go cab to cab to cab and so on to reset the circuit breakers for each ASI system in each car, and that is a HUGE pain in the u you know what!!) I think it should go back to the way trains were always built, good strong mechanical qualities, less on the chips and microprocessors. |
