Title: Prasa diesel units.
Post by: capeklr on August 21, 2015, 10:56:39 AM

New Prasa diesel units that have been delivered, there have been a few issues with these.
One of these is that they are to high for our system.
They where apparently designed for the wide gauge Spanish Railways.
Anyway they are here so use them  ::)
I found this on facebook, do not know where it happened.
Oh shit.

I have a feeling that there are still going to be some interesting incidents with these units.
