Far Rock Depot Posted October 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2011 so ive been designing equipment for fun since HS. My most recent project has been new streetcars for SEPTA. Im working on 2 types, one for the subway-surface and Girard Ave rts (10,11,13,34,36 and 15) and one for the Suburban routes (101 and 102) Heres the first pic: The articulated Low-floor on top i call "Soveriegn" Its width is the same as the DE k-cars and bi-directional. Its truck senter distances are just slightly longer than its current counterparts and cover the minimum turning radius. The traditional-style car on the lower half i call "Renaissance". I chose its name because its a return to traditional cars, Like the PCCs and K-cars before it, but for the 21st century. A rear door wheelchair lift makes it ADA ready ( like the current PCC-IIs on the 15). Its dimensions are as the K-cars. Both of my designs include and updated SEPTA logo with the Ren sportyng and updated livery. IM also including its own "FIND"-like display in its interior. its floor plan and side cross elevations are currently in the works and you can see its progress below: these designs were first started on paper to scale and are shown here after drawing them on MS paint. I had to create a scale ruler using the pixels to begin the drawing. Ive also designed these with the RTS in mind. Its a modular design for ease of building, maintenence and repair. What do you think? feedback welcomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share #2 Posted October 7, 2011 BTW< im starting a Norristown High Speed line (Rt100) car. Im basing it off the current N-5 cars. If any one knows its dimensions and possibly a pic of its trucks it would really help out a lot! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
