Metro simulator forums

By the looks of it, they run in 3 cars, not 6. The trains are articulated with 2 units.

No they do run 6 cars more often

Search DLR and you will find loads of pictures of them, they run 6 cars
and i live near them so i know this as a fact

It's 3 units, each consisting of 2 cars, so 6 cars in total.

EDIT:"DLR 48-hour strike".... An automatic metro on strike.... The computer has had enough! "Give me a software update" it cries out! "I don't want to be hacked!"

Yes I know; TfL still doesn't trust those metro's enough to let them run without staff on board.... Also a reason the driving computer is sick of it; away with the parental supervision!

The terms are reversed here. That's a 3 car train consisting of 2 units.

Nope. 3 units, two cars each. The two cars can not be taken apart, and therefore, they operate as a single unit.

Here is an example: https://www.railtech.com/rolling-stock/ ... an-tracks/

"Italian train operator Ferrovie del Sud Est has signed a framework agreement with Polish rolling stock manufacturer Newag for the delivery of six three-car electric multiple units. "

And another, this time even a former London Underground train: https://www.struktonrail.com/news/2019/ ... n-service/

"West Midlands Trains ordered the three two-car units from Vivarail."

We weren't talking about North America. We were talking about classifying units and cars. At the end of the day, it's more of a language barrier between North American vs European terms of classifying between individual cars and units. In NA, a single DLR stock is one articulated car made up of 2 units. The same goes for the SG2 and so on.

I concur with Sgt_DeBones, at MUNI it is a 1, 2 or 3 car train. We just call the sections "A" end, section, part, or half, not car. Sometimes that's called the live section because our A ends always have the pans on 'em. "B" is just the "B" end, section, end, or half. A car is a unit of rollingstock, eg: #1429. A car isn't 1429A or 1429B. A unit is A or B section in North America. And yes, it is a rather odd language barrier since Europe produced the genesis of the American lrvs in the early 70s.
