ALL of the "pre-war" cars had pretty much "standard motors" and electricals and airs ... it was all about the "arrangement of the running gear" (Brake left or right) but otherwise, a STANDARD had endured for a BERY long time as far as motors, group switches, and brakes. An ARNINE was pretty much the SAME as a LoV, HiV, MP54, or Erie Lackamoney ... Me-23 and simpler were pretty much the standard for "railroad" from NY Central to IRT ... the OLDER "spur gear" stuff was pretty much common other than gear ratios for "expected maximum grade" and "tractive effort." And the motors were also largely similar.Betcha LoV's was what BOT emulated in the design of the arnines and such ... anything BMT was to be rejected, though I woulda REALLY gotten my yayas off running Bluebirds on the D train after Chrystie. :) |
