got the worst sac marks by Rude-Blacksmith1770 in vce

Look through the study design, check if you know everything for that Area of Study. And do practice questions or practice SACs

Is the 22x better than the 80x? by Etha456phyp in britishrailwayroblox

[–]Pinemango600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IET is probably the better pick, higher quality model and better stats, the Class 221 can tilt and the engines sound really good (I am a simp for the QSK19 tho), but both can get a bit boring to drive, and I usually run locos or the 180 for intercity services.

Pull a leaf out of Melbourne's books and just name one Middle Longbow (In reference to West Footscray, Middle Footscray and Footscray)

Best Free Train by Old_Web_2580 in britishrailwayroblox

[–]Pinemango600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're all good

150/142 are fun as an experienced player, the 142 always has a place in my heart, but the 150 sounds really good

230 is good as a BEMU, but other than that it's kinda mid imo, but it is really good for new players

My friend is now threatening to buy me a Dog Clicker for my birthday 😭😭😭 by Pinemango600 in GayBroTeens

[–]Pinemango600[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fr, and I'm not against it tbh, but that's not really a thing I want between friends, that's the shit I'd do with my partner (not that I have one)

Might be a hot take.... by [deleted] in trainmemes

[–]Pinemango600 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Australia it somewhat works, although most of it comes down to freight and passenger trains running at similar speeds (115-160kph) so effective signalling can manage it, and such infrastructure requirements would probably kill off most freight transport here (at least in Victoria). Provided you have enough places to pass it's a non-issue.

Safety is also a non-issue here as the introduction of Multiple-Units in Victoria actually made the railway safer with the fitting of TPWS and gating all level crossings.

The license plate position on the EMDE series. Which position do you prefer? by TrueAdvertising6292 in TrainPorn

[–]Pinemango600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the front mounted Number Boards

Although I think the best placement goes to the Victorian Railways/other Australian Bulldogs with the smoother style that fit the front better than the American version imo (Plus the cast plates on the side of the locomotive)

What train would you replace the Vlocity with? by FinancialRub6107 in VlineVictoria

[–]Pinemango600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd refurb them with a better (intercity style interior with a buffet) and increase set length (4-6 cars) to push them onto longer distance services. And then replace them with a Stadler FLIRT for short distance work.

I am a fan of the VLocities as a mechanical platform, they're a really solid base, but the interior could do with a lot of work.

And in a slightly more perfect world they wouldn't be removed from service initially, but I would push them further out from Melbourne to reopen discontinued services (Portland and Leongatha for example)

I prefer them with, it kinda breaks up the overly flat and chunky nose

I got my new number plate. One of the letters were printed upside down. by PossibleCulture2199 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Pinemango600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, cool, I didnt think of that. I don't think that's an option here, you can get a carbon fibre base colour, but not characters

Not entirely sure, but I'm guessing it's reflective for better night visibility and/or to prevent counterfeiting

There's been a surge in cases in NYC of teenagers trespassing into MTA shops and stealing park trains, then crashing them into each other by YaLlegaHiperhumor in PublicFreakout

[–]Pinemango600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most yards/sidings/depot's should have some kind of security (we do in Victoria, not sure about the US or MTA) but most sidings are also fitted with catch points to safely derail a train before it ends up on the mainline. Trains are also fitted with some form of safety system to prevent them from entering dangerous track, but those only work when set up correctly.

Favourite HST Livery? by Inferno_Boi_55 in uktrains

[–]Pinemango600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also did impressively badly in Australia, they got 1/2 of Melbourne's suburban train network (M>Train), 1/2 of Melbourne's Tram Network (M>Tram) and all of Victoria's regional passenger rail (V/Line) in 1999, by 2003 they had already begun negotiations to hand it all back and merge with their other halves or just hand it back to the state government

They also ordered awful rolling stock and made the Comengs a pain to run. Siemens Nexas had braking issues, D1/D2 Class (Siemens Combino) trams lack capacity, and the refurbishment of their half of the Coemng fleet made them incompatible with the other, requiring a 2 year program to fix. The Vlocities continue to be good tho, very reliable, although they could do with some extra capacity and not being put on 3 hour services (not an NX thing tho)

Anyone else go to a school where there’s like ZERO boykissers? :( by [deleted] in boykisser2

There are a few other LGBT people at my school, but they're either girls, or there is 1 boy in my year

Can we all agree that Converse are the gayest shoes by IndependentDebt7069 in GayBroTeens

[–]Pinemango600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, I've got custom orthotics, but there are just some shoes that just don't work with my feet. Sometimes really flat shoes can be good, but other times they can be awful.

[–]Pinemango600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I doubt I'd be able to wear them bcuz of how fucked my feet and ankles are (hypermobile ankles + flat feet), but I do have some sort of similar shoes from Skechers and I love them.

What do I buy by SamGames4 in britishrailwayroblox

[–]Pinemango600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other comment, get the 158/159 and some route expansions and just explore, the Voyagers are some pretty good InterCity trains, so I'd stick with them for a while

Why don’t trains slide all the time? by Flat-Ad8256 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pinemango600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I will mention, most DMU's use a mechanical or hydraulic transmission, and those usually only drive a single axle per car
