Subject photos: http://wlodeks.narod.ru/chrez/tram.htm ================================================================================ Hello(s), All...! Many Tatra cars are already 35-40 years old, or even more. Now they are in Moscow are actively being replaced by new cars from the Ust-Katavsky plant, but are still on the move a lot of scrap metal, scattered in the most unexpected places... Tatra car, By the way, it has a very soft ride. Otherwise it is very outdated. Umformer The voltage converter makes a lot of noise and blows exhaust air into the system cooling into the cabin. It's cold in the carriage in winter. Ust-Katavsky tram is great well designed, has excellent heating with heated seats, just creepy brakes (it seems to stop instantly from any speed, you can break). Its ride is quite stiff, but in a situation where you need to sharply pick up speed or brake sharply, it is unsurpassed in traffic jams and rush hour this is important. It has 4 doors, which is also important during rush hours. At the same time II have absolutely no idea where the city and the factory are located where they make these beautiful carriages :-( ...
