  • Norwegian train car designation shorthand (incomplete).

    B: Class B (which is the only class these days. So, meaning passenger seats)
    M: Motorized (implies S. See below)
    S: Steering capability
    L: cargo space (“Lasterom”)
    C: Special capability of some sort, such as wheelchair ramp.
    MU: Motorized car without driver capability (As in M without S)
    P: Car with a pantagraph
    R: Restaurant/bistro

    So, for example, type 92 is a small set consisting of only two cars: A BM and a BS. Both cars have seating, the train can be controlled from both ends, but only one of them has a motor.

    T93 is similar in layout.

    T74 and T75 are both five-car trains, and I don’t remember all of the cars, but I remember the middle of them is called BCMU or something like that.

    The older T3 trains (now retired, I think), has a car designated LCR (or a different order), which means cargo space, food service, and some sort of special amenities that I never figured out. This train type also had class A with seating of a higher comfort level.

    All of these types are printed on the side, usually next to a number, which is an internal serial number. So a 9214BM* means “Type 92, number 14, motor carriage (with passenger seating)”.

    *: I don’t remember the exact syntax, but it’s something like that.

    EDIT: Un-fun fact I just realized long after using 9214 as an example above: It doesn’texist anymore.








  • From a 3d printing perspective, I have absolutely no idea.

    But from the perspective of troubleshooting electronics, that’s a pretty awful situation: electrical shocks can cause all sorts of weird havoc with unpredictable behavior and unintuitive symptoms. If I was in your situation I would seriously consider cutting my losses short and replace ALL of the electronics and save myself from a major headache.

    Source: I was tasked with fixing an MF/HF radio station that had been struck by lightning. And the ship it was on was only available around 0300 in the morning. I replaced so many components, including the ones that threw an error, but to no avail. I ended up replacing the entire station, antenna and tuner included.

    Both.

    Grew up with Star Wars as I have an older brother who had IV-VI on VHS.

    Later in life I found myself in a job that took me offshore without internet access, so I needed something to watch on my laptop. As I considered myself a geek, and having never watched Star Trek, I torrented all of star trek and brought it with me. I started with The Cage, went over to Original series, and so forth. Last I saw was Enterprise.
