TTC Hawker Siddeley H5 5796 (T1 Prototype) Part 1

I finally found it!!! My four days of searching finally paid off! :))...About the 5796 car... Ride aboard an H5 that has been modified into a T1 interior wise. This car in particular was modified to decide the T1's final interior before they came into service. This car was modified and changed around at least a few times. The last modification I saw was when this car had seating only on the sides meaning there were no seats facing forward or backwards. (Part 1 Eglinton to Bloor)

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

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!

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

@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

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

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