Well from what I understand, mechanically they were a disaster. But during the time period that I am talking about in my last post, it wasn't the R44s that were the problem, it was the R46s and their trucks.

You see, the R46s were a better performing car than the R44s, but their trucks sucked. Since the R46s were better than the R44s, the TA decided to totally mothball the R44s, take their trucks and put them on the R46s until new trucks for the R46s come in. Once the R46s receive their new trucks, the R44s got back their trucks and were placed back into service.
