    This is the only video that I could find with a H1 in service and the H5 seemed very new

      Hi, I am wondering if you play the Train Simulator games on your PC? I will take a Guess in the dark and guess that you certainly do. I wanted to know if you could and would help me learn how to play the latest one that came out? It has a Red Passenger Train and a pointy one that looks grey or white in colour and has a narrow front and the other one on the Game page front is an Engine of those used to pull car freights and they use for hazard waste. Would you like to give me a few pointers?
      Thank you if you decide to help me and Thank you the same if you decide not to. Cheers, Thanks. Jason

    A minor technical quibble: At 3:15 the narration says that when the motors are in series you get "half power". Actually, you get one quarter of the power of parallel mode. Now let see... He said a train accelerating would consume 10,000 Amps at 600 Volts. That would be 6 megawatts of power or 8,043 horsepower.

    The Toronto Transit Authority opened the entire system to us. My secret to all the items was letting the big companies train and tour me first, then I would send them what I had in mind, and I never asked them to sign a release until they were happy with what I did. In exchange for editorial veto, they usually opened all of the doors for me.

      That’s awesome! Thanks for making this video, I was born in Metro Toronto back in 1989 and grew up riding the TTC everywhere with my folks and to school throughout the ‘90s and early 2000s before moving to Burlington in 2001. I still ride the subway when I get the chance to visit, although none of these Hawker-Siddeley trains are still around (minus the H4s used for maintenance work).
      Today it’s all Bombardier, TR “Rockets” on the YUS/Sheppard and T1s on the BD.

    Even when this video was made the Toronto subway was ultra modern, unlike where I live in New York City. The subway here was horribly out of date in terms of technology, and still is today.

    I’ve always wondered why the H5 and H6 trains made a long buzzing sound when ever they sped up or slowed down none of the other models made this buzzing sound only the H5 and H6 trains I remember when I had my old tape Walkman with me and when I had it on radio for some strange reason that buzzing sound would get amplified into my headphones the old CLRV and ALRV streetcars also made a similar buzzing sound that would also get amplified into my headphones when I had my old Walkman with me also on the H5 and H6 trains depending on where you were standing or sitting on one of the train cars the buzzing sound seemed to be louder in like the middle of the car as opposed to at one of the ends of the car

    • @Vincent_Sullivan

      Michael; The answer to your question is that the older equipment used, as is stated in the video, only 3 modes of power to the motors. It was either "inch", "series", or "parallel". Once one of these modes was selected the power flowed continuously in that mode. This control method was very limited in the flexibility of the speed the train could be driven at and speed changes were rather "jerky". The more modern equipment used electronic speed controls that allowed the train speed to be controlled to a desired speed much more easily. It worked by sending pulses of power to the motors. The duty cycle (ratio of "on" time to "off" time) of the pulses was varied to send the desired amount of power to the motor. For example, a 25% duty cycle is equivalent to "series" and a 100% duty cycle is equivalent to "parallel". Some of the components in the power control system are conducting a lot of current during these pulses and it causes them to vibrate a bit. This is what causes the buzzing noise you hear. These high current pulses also create radio interference which is what you were hearing in your Walkman. It would be louder if you were sitting or standing closer to where the power control equipment was located under the floor of the subway car.

      Kinda funny, nowadays's you'd never get any four, no to mention two, car trains in regular service even at off peak time's. The only place or reason's would be on line 4, out of service cars transferring around, or work car's. Even still most of them wouldn't need them.

    Sometime around 1990, possibly as early as 1987. I think it was in series one, which was produced around 87-88.

      The middle two are H5s, YUS would always mix those cars during the ‘80s and early ‘90s until the last of the Gloucester trains finally retired.
