Re: All Trains To Be Replaced

[Michael <mk@netstra.com.au>]

Hi,

I have found it is not the urine and vomit that smells most often, its more 
the musty smell in the carpet for weeks after it has been raining. In some 
sets you can see the carpet rotting away. 

I dont see that you have to completely remove the carpet to fix this 
problem, when carpeting was implemented into the sets the vestibule area 
should have kept a rubber floor surface, like in the MTH cars. The Met's 
other option of course is to actually bother closing the doors and windows 
when a set is stabled for the night.

Regards
Michael.

PS, yes you can smell floor pizza / regurgitated alcohol, and urine 
sometimes on a saturday or sunday morning on some sets.
