But the R16s had newer bodies and trucks, replacement door engines less than 10 years old, maybe even 5 years at the 1984 mark in time where the GOH, clean car program and minor overaul periods the Green tens went through, with teh same switch box components the R10s got the nightly maintainance for. What was the real reason they didn't want to keep the R16s instead of choosing the older cars, did Gunn and Pendergast really like the R10s that much. Not that I'm complaining because I love the tens too, but I think keeping the 100 WH R16s might have opened up more possibilities while the R38 and up cars were getting the works done to them. |
