I think that's a bit unfair theres rarely a place where the R-68 roam where you can get real good speedActually I was thinking of one day when due some general order I was riding an N train of R-68's on the Sea beach express track and we kept being bypassed by an N train of R-40s running on the local track. I'm not an engineer but its that the motors on the R-68's were designed for a sixty-foot car not a seventy five foot one. The "Q" could fly too though. I remember riding them on the Myrtle Avenue El, going down-hill, with a good tail wind they could crack 35 MPH. Seriously though if the R-68's are one of your favorite cars then I hope you can enjoy many hours of riding them. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
