TTC Hawker Siddeley H5 5796 (T1 Prototype) Part 1

[vistarox]

This isn't a prototype. Its a counterfeit T1 made in China.

[123valid]

I hope they don't get rid of the H4- and H5 trains....THEY' E THE BESTTT!!!!!!!!!!

[GTAfan8850]

I rode on the H4, H5, H6, T1 and the SRT. I never rode on the H5 5796.

[Carnivoure12]

I'll miss the buzzing so much.... The T1's are great, but I miss the buzzing... even the H6 Lacks it...

[ttct3]

um when the h4's and mayb the h5's retire, will some YUS T1 trains move down to the bloor line?

[046547717]

Probably not, because the BD line still have the H6's, the H5's will probably move down and the new Toronto rockets will take the place of the H5's....sadly

[308813062]

@046547717 is this car (5796) gonna be retired as well? btw, after not riding on it for years and narrowly missing it last year right when i gave up on catching it (it was in the lead whereas i was at the end and coudn't get to it) i've gone on it like 5 times after that in quite a narrow time span

[iMac0765]

Heading downtown via the Y-U-S, gonna be sure to catch this car.... I hope.

[046547717]

Good luck with that! It's too bad that an entire trainset wasn't modified to look like this car

[iMac0765]

That would be awesome.

Then you don't have to run down the platform for it when you see it!

[046547717]

Very true!

[ttcsubwayfan]

After searching since September for this car, I finally found it today. I rode on it, and made a video which should be uploaded soon! :D

[046547717]

I TOOK YOU TEN MONTHS TO FIND THIS CAR!!! WOOOW!! :S

Nice going though I'll be sure to check it out

[ttcsubwayfan]

Yup, it wasn't easy...I actually wasn't expecting to find it yesterday, I was just riding the TTC when I see 5796! :D

[abercrombieToronto]

in days where i was taking ttc, i happen to hear this woman's voice on any direction i go till i found out it was automated voice' :)

[046547717]

Ya same here! I was so confused at first lol

[046547717]

The new rockets are going to be on the YUS line, but you shouldn't be too excited. Once the new trains hit the tracks the H4's are goners along with the H5's as well unless they move them down to the Bloor line

[alabs56]

I think i got this car twice

[eja2k]

5796 has the same cab controls as the rest of the H5's

[iMac0765]

Chimes are like a symphony~ Dinng Daa Dooo... :)

[046547717]

Hehe...why is that?

[iMac0765]

The perfect subway train: T1's interior/doors. H5's chimes and T1's controls!

[046547717]

I didn't know the 5796 car had T1 controls...thats something I have to see. You also forgot to mention the T1 horn.

[iMac0765]

I ment that if TTC were to ask Youtubers for comments, then I'll say I want a subway with T1's interior/doors. H5's chimes and T1's controls! Also

[046547717]

How about this, imagine a T1 train with an H5 interior...

[ttcsubwayfan]

Imagine a subway car with the body of an H4 and the interior of an H6 (minus the doors) and the buzz and doors of an H5! :D BTW, you were very lucky to get this car...I can never find it! >:(

[046547717]

Hmmm...interesting...did you see the I made vid of the articulated Orion VII NG hybrid bus??...Look for it in my acount, I used Mircrosft paint to do it

[046547717]

Oh, and what about the seats??

[ttcsubwayfan]

The seats would be of an H4.

[ronaldmcgddonald]

Interesting, it still has the nicer H5 chimes.

[046547717]

Yeah, it would sound strange if it had the T1 chimes with other H5 cars and their door chimes.

[torontosubway]

i wonder if they will design a train that has the sounds of the h5 and doors of the h6 but has interior of a t1 plus the air release sound of a h4.

[046547717]

Hey thats quite the idea man, to go with that how about vinyl seats like a few of the H6 trains still have or H4 seats...hmmmm

[nova9403]

AS long as the next generation train has A/C, I'm ok with it! :)

[046547717]

lol. BTW, do you know know if any of the station platforms have A/C what so ever?? It's always hot in there during the summer.

[nova9403]

I don't think that every station has A/C. And hell yes its very sticky on very hot and humid days.... But once you're underground it not too bad.

[046547717]

Even underground it's very stuffy, especially in the platform at Untion Stn...dude you can't even breath.

[Subway261994]

The cars can be uncuppled from eachother?

[046547717]

I don't think so, good question though

[greekguy1326]

I can never find this car!

[046547717]

I know what you mean...you really have to search hard for this car, I'm planning on going round 3 with this car again...look like I'm gonna have to get my searching skills up to scratch. Keep looking though, your luck may just turn out. Maye this will help, as you ride on the trains watch for each set of

H5 trains that pass by. You have to look at all the cars in each train set because 5796 is not always used as a lead car. It's much easier to find at nights than during the day.

[greekguy1326]

thanks for the tips!

[046547717]

No problem, good luck, hope you find it.

[ttctae]

Nice you found it :)

[Subway261994]

I've seen the T1 prototype pass by in a station going in the opposite direction but iv'e never been on it.

[046547717]

Thats happened to me too, when I saw this car going in the opppisite direction, lets just say I went into hot pursuit mode and then I ran into it at Eglinton Station.

[046547717]

Thanks

[torontosubway]

nice. you finally found it

[046547717]

Yep, lets just say I've been searching for quite some time.
