Bus_Medic Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I’ve already got GM and flyer interior plates, and old Orion, MCI and flxible nose badging riveted to my box. Original GM nose badge and H4 builders plate, fleet number plate in my basement....Always looking to add to the collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7575 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if the ALRV's didn't come back. When were they last in service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you underestimate how quiet a drill is, how loud the ambient noise is in the yard, and how quickly someone who knows what they are doing can drill through a soft aluminum rivet with a good drill bit.

Absolutely possible that I am underestimating (thus my question). Have never had an opportunity to visit a streetcar yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never had an opportunity to visit a streetcar yard. It's not even just the yard - at night, the whole neighbourhood has a buzz to it. Some of it is the streetcars, sure - but a lot of it is also the noise from traffic on Queen, Eastern and even the Lakeshore. And I'm sure that the sewage treatment plant and pumping plants nearby also add to the ambiance. Between that, and the humm of the streetcars parked in the yard, it would be easy to do a lot of damage with little interruption at the yard.

LOL Oh you were bad then lol, I use to deliver to the kitchen there for a foodservice company, I always hoped they were on lockdown so I wouldn't have to go through the sally port and just drop it at stores instead, I don't believe they had any CLRV/ALRV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayside Observer Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I took a couple of quick cellphone photos of 4004 and 4010 while we were at Humber loop early Sunday evening as the sunlight was beginning to go and the temperatures started dropping. There's always been something special about climbing up the steps into a warm streetcar, out of the elements when it's unpleasant outside. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallspy Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 There's currently a rumour going about that the CLRVs and ALRVs will NOT be getting VISION installed. Which frankly raises all sorts of questions. Dan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayside Observer Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I heard a carhouse rumour not too long ago that the CLRVs and ALRVs would be done by mid summer due to the service changes arising from track construction projects this year. Carhouse rumours are wildly all over the map for reliability so who knows. However, Steve Munro posted an article on his website yesterday saying the King/Queen/Queensway/Roncesvalles project has been pushed back to 2020 so it's even more uncertain what streetcar service and allocations are going to look like now. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3G Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 The next few months should be really interesting for the legacy fleet, that's for sure. I wonder if anyone's planning a charter to send off the CLRVs? 4024, 4068, and 4176 at Hillcrest. 4029 and 4032 haven't run since February 16. 4079 has been missing since February 18. 4073 hasn't run since February 14. 4094 hasn't run since February 2. 4135 was out in service this morning briefly according to the trackers, on a trip from Russell to Humber and back. However, its GPS has died again as of this posting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
