MysteriousBtrain Posted April 3, 2017 Share #3603 Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) R179 3050-3053 testing today: https://youtu.be/Fnu0ciZPHRs LMAO Marvel trailers LMFAO if product placement makes it into the R179s I would literally die. But seriously, that is amazing. The find seems to have a few more upgrades and ads there it seems.

Lawrence St Posted April 3, 2017 Share #3604 Posted April 3, 2017 Things I've noticed: The FIND screen on the R179's are larger then the ones on the R160. The FIND screen has a higher FPS on the R179's unlike the R160's. The FIND screen is able to play visual clips, such as movie trailers. I believe it's almost like those new LCD advertisements they are installing on the R160B's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech And Transit Posted April 4, 2017 Share #3605 Posted April 4, 2017 The movie trailer was more likely a test program than a program for the 179. Remember that there were a ton of testing computers installed on 3050, so a tech probably started playing some random footage to see what the playback on the FIND would look like. It also wasn't scaled properly. Then again, I could be wrong and we could very well see advertisements and trailers shown on the 179 FIND. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted April 4, 2017 Share #3606 Posted April 4, 2017 The 160 FIND screen was able to play video as well, as demonstrated when they first came in. Then, they stopped using it for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted April 4, 2017 Share #3607 Posted April 4, 2017 I wonder if they're going to showcase the R179's at Hoyt Street like they did with the R160's a few years back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted April 4, 2017 Share #3608 Posted April 4, 2017 I wonder if they're going to showcase the R179's at Hoyt Street like they did with the R160's a few years back. I don't think there's much of a need to do that. The R160s were a bigger deal at the time than the R179s are now in terms of technology. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted April 4, 2017 Share #3609 Posted April 4, 2017 They MAY do that with the R211T or something, but most definitely NOT with the R179s. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted April 4, 2017 Share #3610 Posted April 4, 2017 The R160 demo was not to show off the R160. It was to show off FIND. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted April 4, 2017 Share #3612 Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Can't wait until the 8 car sets makes their way to ENY for training or testing or w/e... train would be really easy to find and they will most likely run the train back and forth between Broadway Junction and that stop before Myrtle. I see 143s and 160s testing on that middle track all the time. Edited April 4, 2017 by trainfan22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And training happens in school car to get "qualified" which usually happens overnights as mimicking service.

As of late, when the 10-car train is out, they usually conclude testing around 4pm. No guarantees though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
