Technical specifics

LM-68M is a wide gauge (1,524 mm (5 ft)) high floor, continuously welded four axle tram. Its body differs from the LM-68 body by an emphasized frame and removed glass on the roof, which created a lot of problems in use. The LM-68M is identical to LM-68 in its pneumatic equipment. The LM-68M tram has 35 seats and is capable of transporting 206 passengers when fully loaded. LM-68M cars are 15 meters (49 ft) long, 2,550 millimeters (100 in) wide and 3,170 millimeters (125 in) high; net weight is 19.5 tonnes. The tram is capable of working as a multiple traction system.

Modifications
  • LM-68M — one side, or single ended tram.
  • 71-881 — double ended, two-cab version of LM-68M. Used in Cherjomushki (Sayano-Shushinskaya hydro-electric station) and in St Petersburg.
gollark: Presumably PS3s are sold somewhat below cost to make back money on the games.
gollark: As far as I know much of that was like a modern general-purpose GPU, but without some of the stuff that made those very good, like their buckets of memory bandwidth.
gollark: It isn't just formatting. For stupid historical reasons, there are two units, GiB (gibibytes, 2^30 bytes) and GB (gigabytes, 10^9 bytes) which software and people will happily mix up all the time.
gollark: Also poor controls relative to using computers with keyboards and such.
gollark: Also having to pay by subscription for access to games.
