Posted by Jeff H. on Fri Jan 1 18:43:54 2010, in response to Re: Photos: BMT ''C'' Types, posted by f179dj on Fri Jan 1 15:06:14 2010. The BRT/BMT storm door key looks like a smaller version of a SMEEA division storm door key, except there is a little offset in the blade. The BRT elevated division cab door key is a barrel key, i.e. the business end of the key is hollowed out. It looks like a typical RR switch padlock key but much smaller, maybe 2" log and the barrel ID is about 3/16". I've operated elevated equipment with the "backwards" controller and brake positions and more traditional stuff such as R-9 sometimes within minutes of each other and never felt any urge to cross hands. The el cars with the M-19 brake valves had a lap position at 6 oclock, whereas ME-23 valves have lap more like 7:30. And of course the elevated controllers look like old-style manual elevator controls. So there is no confusion...it's a totally different feel. But I can imagine going between D types and R9s might be tough. |
