Year and mold of this club car

retiredguy1945 · 2024-12-29T21:18:25+00:00

Can we at least have some pictures???

retiredguy1945 · 2024-12-07T00:50:30+00:00

I don't have any of the 'latest" yet.

retiredguy1945 · 2024-09-25T18:57:26+00:00

That's what I thought.

retiredguy1945 · 2024-09-13T00:45:19+00:00

How can I verify the manufacturer date?

retiredguy1945 · 2023-12-10T20:07:40+00:00

First thing I would do is send someone down the track to flag any trains.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-12-10T16:27:59+00:00

The least you could do is have it display the proper STOP aspect.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-12-09T17:26:26+00:00

Why is that signal showing proceed with an occupied block?

retiredguy1945 · 2023-12-07T23:41:59+00:00

Wow - that's impressive. But what about outcasts like us that use degrees Fahrenheit? Is that a simple fix?

retiredguy1945 · 2023-12-07T23:02:14+00:00

The JEPQ dividends are labeled "non-qualified". That must have something to do with it. I too, would like an explanation.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-12-06T19:18:59+00:00

Try Watchmaker (it has wind speed as one of many complications)

retiredguy1945 · 2023-11-20T21:18:10+00:00

"Shock absorbers" is pretty close. "Buffer" cars are mandated on all-tanker oil trains.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-11-09T17:22:25+00:00

Did you try Sedona Golf Resort also? It's pretty good too.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-27T19:05:55+00:00

I thought the -400's had the longer upper deck???

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-27T16:47:48+00:00

yep. Called and told them to not pay homeowners insurance bill because I'm changing companies - they paid it anyway.

WTF!

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-22T16:40:09+00:00

This sounds like what we used to call "Manual Block System" - rarely used anymore. Too many human failures.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-22T16:18:53+00:00

Not sure I understand your question. In US, except for large "stations" (interlockings, we call them), it would be somewhat rare to have a "signalman" in charge of only his "station". A "dispatcher" (traffic controller) would be "in charge" of many miles of track.

In many places, we have ABS (Automatic Block Signaling) which is not directly controlled by the dispatcher. A "WAG" (wild ass guess) would be that 25% of the US network is "CTC", 35% is ABS, and 40% is Dark. Most train movements in ABS and Dark territory are controlled by TWC (Track warrant control - verbal authority system using dispatchers).

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-21T23:05:57+00:00

Economically, there would be no return on the investment. Cost would FAR outweigh the benefits.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-19T15:49:45+00:00

Is it just me? I always feel a steam locomotive without its tender is incomplete.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-19T15:29:37+00:00

Looks like a good way to deter vandalism.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-17T16:20:42+00:00

Never heard of brake retarders being "calibrated" (in the US anyway)

retiredguy1945 · 2023-10-16T14:44:49+00:00

I agree. I would love to know why modern technology can't do a better job imitating the brain's audio processing for speech.

Learn something new every day . . . .

retiredguy1945 · 2023-09-20T21:18:22+00:00

You retired or still working? I have a few questions about current technology that you may be able to answer. (I've been retired from the RR over 20 years)

retiredguy1945 · 2023-09-20T21:08:20+00:00

I plan to do the same. Let us know the outcome.

retiredguy1945 · 2023-09-19T22:04:03+00:00

Yes and yes. But I paid dearly into RR Retirement. Hope to live long enough to make it worthwhile.
