smallspy Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Indeed, they aren't supposed to be used until they are modified. And there's been no sign of that happening as yet. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TTC, in all of its infinite wisdom, designed them to be activated with a 4-position rotary switch. This can lead to situations where the side signs can display incorrect information, and thus make them non-compliant with the AODA. The TTC is getting Bombardier to redesign the interface of the system to tie in with the existing destination signs on the ends of the TRs so that those ones will work and be compliant, but I don't know what they plan to do for the T1s. 11 hours ago, Kelvin3157 said: I heard they were all supposed to be activated when the TYSSE opens..

88A Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Does anyone have a copy of the schematics of the UTDC Mark I vehicle that they can post? The TTC had it in a pamphlet in the late 1980s. I cannot find mine at the moment, but would like to use it as a reference for a drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buurin Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 When I saw this in my emails I just went "OMG". https://ideas.lego.com/projects/3836a22b-b316-4ee0-85b4-367376887164 It apparently has TTC's (unofficial) blessing: Upon showing my completed set design for the Toronto Rocket set to the management at the TTC, I received a full endorsement to submit my Toronto Rocket Set Design to LEGO Ideas, with a promise to help spread the word about the voting via social media to the 13,000+ TTC employees and hundreds of thousands of daily TTC customers. * I have my doubts if this project can actually takes off, mainly because Lego lately have been limiting their piece counts to <2000 and this is too big at 2910. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that they've been limiting the piece count? There are lots and lots of sets that are well over 2000 pieces that are available now.

That front end design looks really flat, though, and it is hard to recreate the slightly-angled design of the TRs. You know what this could look oddly more like (if not for colours)?

63 Ossington Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Tonight I was on a NB University train signed Yorkdale (though the NVA screen said Wilson; I assume it was a train running in for the night). Is there any particular reason why Yorkdale would be displayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed T. Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 How much use is Vincent yard getting? I walked by there yesterday. It looks like the two southside tracks haven't been used, maybe ever. There's evidence that the two northside tracks have been used, but it was hard to tell if the wear was consistent with use as a yard, or whether it was done by work equipment.

Apparently the two southern tracks are still allocated for MOW equipment. Dan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
