Posted by SUBWAYSURF on Mon Aug 2 11:06:39 2010, in response to R68 vs R68A QUIZ. Viva la Difference(s), posted by SUBWAYSURF on Sat Jul 31 16:01:49 2010. Not many took up this took up this challenge. But, as promised, here are the differences68 Sign boxes are angled at the bottom. Like this: \_ 68a Sign boxes are squared at the bottom. Like this: L 68 The hole on the sign box, to change signs, is chrome and is not flush. 68a The hole on the sign box is flush and has a simple metal ring. 68 The window that has the sign box in it is comprised of 2 pieces of glass. 68a The window that has the sign box is one piece of glass. 68 Rain gutters on exterior roof line run the entire length of the car. 68a Rain gutters are only over the doors. 68 Window latches have a angled piece of metal over the latch. 68a Window latches have nothing over the latch. 68 Window in the corner cabs have a frame around them. 68a Window in the corner cab is flush mounted 68 Both upper and lower grab rails are joined with fittings. 68a Upper grab rails are joined with fittings. Lower grab rails are welded. 68 Swinging cab door on full with cabs 68a Pocket door on full with cabs. 68 Floor is flat on left side and curved up on right where it meets the cab. This is due to a spec. change during manufacturing as 68s were originally to have corner cabs. 68a Floor is the same on both sides where it meets full width cab 68 Ceiling access panels have no protection against damage from striking grab rails when opened for service. Think chipped paint, 68a Ceiling access panels have small plastic protective overlays where the panel contacts grab rails when open. 68 Steel frame around door access panels panels is wide. 68a Steel frame around door motor access panels is narrow. 68 Interior stainless steel is dull. 68a Interior stainless steel is shiny. 68 Latch that holds end door open is the old flip up style seen in all previous R's. Note, the flip-up part was removed during SMS. Doors can no longer be made to stay open, no issue since end doors are/should be locked. 68a Latch that holds end door open is one piece. I do not know if these have been removed. No issue since end doors are/should be locked. 68 Exterior spot welds are visible. 68a Exterior spot welds not visible. 68 PA speakers in ceiling are in a straight line. Between the lineal diffusers. 68a PA speakers in ceiling are staggered, 1 right, 1 left etc. Still between the lineal diffusers. As far as the front destination sign position mentioned every now and then, that differs even from 68 to 68 depending on date of manufacture. So I do not include it. |
