Wonder if those 1930's Design Budd-Michelin type shared trucks will hold up. That was an achilles heel when whole train set had to be taken out of service due to one car.
you mean jacob bogies? and i never understood that argument. If a wagon has a malfunction; whatever the train setup is, theyll have to take the entire train out of service, bring it back to the yard, uncouple the wagons around it, etc etc... not much difference with jacob bogie setup like this. Its just easier to bring one out of service, and bring a replacement train in.
TGV design was in the 70s … it’s been quite successful… actually Jacobs truck design has been proven quite safe in a few misshapes …. Also you get reduced train weight, less friction, and heavy duty suspension system… also remember that the TGV system captured the speed record 3 times and still holds the record for steel wheeled trains.
Love the blue/white colours on the coaches of the train nearly the same as British rail coaches of the 70/80 s
Might as well put them into service... Alstom, please stop messing up
Yes. Malpractice in the worst degree! What happened to a once trusted company???
Cool catch.
Nice catch 👌
Wondering if this train has been to Newark new jersey
wonder where its going
Curious what will happen to the old set. There is not really a place they can go.
👍😀👏
HEY WAIT FOR ME

Have these things made 1 single revenue penny yet????
Their issues have been well documented and now mostly sorted. If you're unaware, that's on you at this point
What he meant to say is they haven't. But they should be ready sometime this year... I hope.
Corny color scheme
Better than tin can gray xD
IT WOULD BE NICER IF IT GLOWS IN THE DARK. . . .PLAIN LOOKING, UNAPPEALING COLORS
Ehh I like the cars but not the locos.
