The spec allows for both an R160 and a different design. I believe the thinking was that they'd get a better price this way. So yes, they would have been clones had Kawasaki/Alstom won the job, and the cars would probably be in service by now. They didn't win so quite a few changes - most of the components are a different design from different suppliers. Carshell and trucks are new too though naturally based on the R142. I think they'd probably be in the same boat now had the gone with a 75 footer.Good price, crapola delivery... |
