These are nice photos. That system looks interesting. Does it have cabsignals? Or does it have the magnetic trippers like on river line?I think I see an upside down canoe in the second to last pic, or is that a switch machine? The railcars themselves look like plastic chitboxes, however. By the looks of it, the platforms have extendable plates for the passengers to board, and plus I see th conventional signals, so is this over freight ROW? Also, wouldn't it be cheaper to go for an FRA approved vehicle like a BUDD RDC than some imported vehicle that needs waivers? I assume far control is POP. Also, how FAST are those vehicles? |
