Use Template:Rolling_stock

[edit]

Can we perhaps make use of the Template:Rolling_stock template? I've started on the following..

Failing GA with its present standard

[edit]

Hello everyone, I would urge regular editors to assist in maintaining this page with more stringency as it's a Good Article (compared to the other train pages). The addition of train sets number is a phenomenon which has long existed since the early days of the Wikipedia, but which is rarely sourced to reliable media. At its present state, it would fail a GA nomination, with an entire section being unsourced; I will give it two weeks before purging it.

I have also purged the train set numbers as none of them are sourced, please do continue to assist in reverting them. If the situation keeps up we might have to request for pending changes to be implemented. Seloloving (talk) 16:48, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Trainset information

[edit]

I have removed the entire section as it's almost completely unsourced. Please add it back if anyone can find reliable sources for this. Seloloving (talk) 02:41, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Train formation section removed on 25 May 2021

Train formation

[edit]

A complete six-car trainset consists of an identical twin set of one driving trailer (DT) and two motor cars (M1 and M2) permanently coupled together.[1] The configuration of a C151 trainset in revenue service is DT–M1–M2–M2–M1–DT.[citation needed]

Cars of C151
car type Driver Cab Motor Collector Shoe car length Wheelchair Space
mm ft in
DT 23,650 77 ft 7.1 in
M1 22,800 74 ft 9.6 in
M2 22,800 74 ft 9.6 in

The car numbers of the trains range from x001 to x132, where x depends on the carriage type. Individual cars are assigned a 4 digit serial number. A complete six-car trainset consists of an identical twin set of one driving trailer (DT) and two motor cars (M1 & M2) permanently coupled together. For example, set 009/010 consists of carriages 3009, 1009, 2009, 2010, 1010 and 3010.[citation needed]

  • The first digit identifies the car number, where the first car has a 3, the second has a 1 & the third has a 2.
  • The second digit is a 0 or 1, part of the identification numbers
  • The third digit and fourth digit are the train identification numbers. A full-length train of 6 cars have 2 different identification numbers. For example 001/002 (normal coupling) and 001/003 (cross coupling).

Dimensions sources

[edit]

I do not see a clear source for the dimensions of the train cars. We have no way of knowing where/how the measurements were taken --109.146.83.213 (talk) 19:21, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
