Wrong, bendable frames don't help.Locking couplers do help, that absorb the force, and reenforced collision posts, thatare designed to slide back a BIT in a collision. The BMT did all of this without chitbox railcars with flimsy frames. Their articulated cars, the BMT BLUEBIRDS, had locking anticlimbers, rather large ones, that would mushroom on impact to absorb energy. Nope, no bending flimsy frames to protect passengers. If you want railcars with flimsy frames, buy Alstom, Rotem, or KAWACHITTI. Bombardier might also make chit railcars. |
