SPARE PARTS FOR CARS : Please. How is the Amtrak system emulating the Saudi system? Back to earlier posts, thepoint was that spare parts do not exist and that somehow, older cars are inferior. And, mypoint is that they are not necessarily inferior from a design, maintenance, safety andoperating perspective; merely that they needed mostly cosmetic and, in some cases,relatively minor mechanical upgrades.I have yet to meet anyone who has expressed displeasure with bilevel cars. They arerobustly constructed, efficient and inexpensive to operate, with COMMON components, whichare easy to procure and maintain. We obviously travel in different circles.No, sir, you are full of it. I travel around the country and have had numerousconversations, unsolicited, about various types of equipment and you are simply wrong.
SPARE PARTS FOR CARS : Do you have any clue as to the relationship of roadbed to ride quality?Not in my experience or anyone I know who has ridden these in California, Montreal,Chicago and Washington, DC.Not in the California cars. They're actually quite spacious, similar to Chicago's newerNippon-Sharyo cars, which share a common body shell.How so? By climbing three stairs at the loading doors? Ok, they have to go up some stairsto the mezzanine level. So what, there are seats up there.Duck your head and you'll get a seat. No one has a problem in Chicago, California,Washington or Montreal.False. Three abreast loading. Observed in all of the aforementioned cities and shorterdwell time per passenger than single level cars.Also false. Same accommodations for single level and any other equipment for ADAcompliance. Check each system.I don't think you've spent a lot of time observing commuter railroads or you wouldn't bemaking these statements. Chicago is using the ex-CNW, MILW, RI and Burlington cars withgreat success and no complaints from passengers about the equipment. Many consider Metrato be a model commuter railroad. And, they are a very well run railroad by any standard.
SPARE PARTS FOR CARS : Back to the original point I made, they use many common components, such as TBUs (TreadBrake Units), wheels (33" B wheel, used on every TTX car in the North America), brakevalves, lighting, control stands, HVAC systems, seating, truck components, couplers, draftgear, door engines, flooring, which are compatible across many types of cars used in NorthAmerica.Contrary to earlier posts made regarding expensive parts and no availability, these carsare inexpensive to operate and simple to maintain.And, I dispute the assertion that they are uncomfortable. That is just not so. I haveridden these cars in all of the above mentioned cities and your points do not coincidewith my observations.It is not necessary to equip your railroad with new equipment, because the cars look andsmell new, when older boxes, bettered with new seating, lighting and floor coverings willaccomplish the same objectives faster and at a much lower cost. Generally, on therailroads, the people who agitate the most for new equipment are in maintenance. Chancesare, if they have a new car and something goes wrong, the equipment is under somewarranty. That means less trouble for them to maintain the car.
SPARE PARTS FOR CARS : PUTRAJAYA, April 19 (Bernama) -- Reconditioning classic carscan become a major industry as this can earn revenue for thecountry and thus should be promoted, Deputy Prime MinisterDatuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Friday."In Malaysia many people are interested in owning classiccars and to recondition these cars is not something easyparticularly when there are no spare parts," he said afterflagging off 50 mini-cars which left Dataran Putra here in aconvoy for Alor Setar on a charity tour organised by theMini Car Owners Club of Malaysia.Abdullah arrived for the ceremony in a Mini Cooper built in1964. It is the Deputy Prime Minister's first car which hebought when was an officer in the Public Service Department(PSD).He said to recondition cars all the spare parts should beoriginal and only then could it be considered fullyrestored.
SPARE PARTS FOR CARS : "The classic car philosophy is when there is 100 per centrestoration it should then resemble the one that rolled outfrom the factory," he said.Abdullah said there were classic cars in Malaysia, whichcould not be restored in the absence of original spareparts."At times when there are no spare parts available, then theywill have to be specially ordered according to originalspecifications. If the car had rolled out from the factorywithout air conditioning then we should not have airconditioning but some people go ahead and install airconditioning."He said reconditioning or restoration of cars locally wouldbenefit local mechanics as they would get to know how thesecars were assembled in the plant."This will provide an opportunity for Malaysian mechanics toenhance their skills," he added.Abdullah said that in Britain reconditioning cars had becomea new industry which generated good income for the countryand the industry.
