Posted by Neil Feldman on Wed Aug 4 19:25:30 2010, in response to R68 vs R68A QUIZ. Viva la Difference(s), posted by SUBWAYSURF on Sat Jul 31 16:01:49 2010. I don't care if I win or lose, but here are the differences:R68: -Brighter Stainless Steel. -Different Westinghouse Brake Package meaning stopped smoother, and on the dime where as the R68A had a delayed braking. -Interior Cab Door Swings Inwards Instead Of Sliding -Side Roll Sign interior is not flush as it sticks out, and the Rollsigns are flush to the glass. As well key hole has a stainless steel ring around it. -Numbers on outside numberboards have different number fonts. -Original Rollsigns were smaller, and destination rollsigns usually on each terminal had destination on top of it followed by borough on bottom. -Interior numberboards were aside the Emergency Brake Decal instead of above it like the R68A. -Usually had better acceleration. -End Rollsigns were on the lower R68A low, and the higher R68 high, but also had an extra slot for additional rollsignage, or display boards. On outside of the side rollsign, there was a steel band underneath the rollsign. R68A: -Darker Stainless steel. -Sliding interior cab door. -Side Rollsigns were recessed beyond the glass, and was flush inside with the side walls. -Original side rollsigns had larger font displaying only terminal names, and not boroughs. -Side rollsigns had just the hole for the key to adjust the terminals, and no ring around the hole. -Window where side rollsigns were was whole, and without the divided stainless steel band like the R68 has. End rollsigns just had the higher location. End doors were plain where as the R68 had a decal on it that had "Slide Open with Arrow". -First batch of cars that were linked into 4 car sets, and no singles after transformation. R68's are both in single, and 4 car sets. -Most of the door chimes were not changed as most are original, where as R68's had been changed from time to time. -Lots of the R68's propulsion has that "Jet Noise" coming out of the bearings where as the R68A doesn't. Now, did I give differences between them?????? |
