Talk:M2/M4/M6 (railcar)

message: I'm a little confused; maybe you could supply a source? I have never heard of "Triplex" cars, or that they (M6's) had automated announcements.
Around the shop & yard, M series cars were referred to as pairs or triplets, not anything else. Keo 19:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: As it is, I'm considering moving this article to M2 (railcar). The move of Budd Metropolitians to Budd Metropolian was done by an admin who didn't know that the name Metropolitans/Cosmopolitans were a branding name that covered the entire fleet and not the name proper. Given how the Metropolitan and Cosmopolitan branding names are at best historical and that staff and riders know them by the technical class names the MTA gave them, it'd make sense to rename the articles for simplicity's sake.
Besides, on the other side of the transit coin the page for the GMC/MCI/NovaBus Classic is named Classics (transit bus) even though the name of the series never, ever, had an s in it. Scrabbleship 10:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Title gender 

message: I believe that this statement is wrong:
Nearly identical to the M4s and, these cars have the distinction of being one of the last with wholly American construction.
Having worked on the M6s, I think I recall that the shells (car bodies) were actually manufactured in South America (Brazil I believe) and then shipped to the MK factory in NY where everything else was added to the car bodies (trucks, machinery, interior...)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.24.6.134 (talk) 02:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I just started adding a hidden infobox to this article too. You should add material to both this and the M1 (railcar) infobox. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  19:17, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infoboxes 

message: I never quite understood why the M1/M3 page made a reference to both classes in the title, but no reference to the M4s and M6s are made in the title of this article. The M4s and M6s are quite different from the M2s, as are the M3s to the M1s. Perhaps someone could move the article to a new page called "M2/M4/M6 (railcar)."

replies: text: Optionally, we could split each generation out as a separate article. Though I think there's some concerns that they'd be too short for separate articles. oknazevad (talk) 09:46, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

text: If memory serves correctly, that was actually the original title of this article, or the M1 article was called "Metropolitans". The problem l, also thinking back, that led to their moving was that the nicknames actually only apppied to the first generations of each. That is to say the M2s were Cosmopolitans, but it isn't actually correct to say that M4s are, as they were made by a different builder. oknazevad (talk) 10:37, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

text: I support moving this to "M2/M4/M6 (railcar)." I have found some more information to cite. I am sure that with more research, they can be split in the future. My focus now is citing what is in the articles.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:22, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
