Windscreen repairs to trains/trams/metro's

[Paintsolutions]

Guys,

I have done a quick search on this forum but got nothing back, so I thought I would offer it up to you guys. Is it possible to undertake windscreen repairs to trains, trams or metro's. Do their windscreens have the same kind of make up as car, buses, lorries etc???

Many thanks

James

Indeed those windsshields are laminated too.
Thus, can be repaired.

I've done lots of buses and all had normal AS-1 windshields just like any other car, truck, or RV. I also did some repairs on the metro trains in Portland many years ago. I can't remember for sure how many layers of glass and lam they had, but they were several times thicker than an automobile windshield, to help stop bullets I'm told. The outside layer repaired just like any other laminated glass.

I would think that the trains and metro would repair the same but the pressures of the high speeds and vibrations I wouldnt want to be responsible for what happens if the thing breaks out too much liability for a price of a repair

True Story
Years back when designing the high speed Rail in England the engineers wanted to make sure they would take a bird hit at that high speed. They borrowed the catapault used by the USAF to test planes first result was the chicken they launched went through the glass and the wall behind the driver second test same results. They bring over a Airforce expert on the machine they were sur they were using it wrong after some laughter his advice to the engineers was Thaw the Chicken First.

They had the report posted in the area I worked in while in the USAF at Mildenhal it was a source of fun poking at the Raf guys we worked with if they did something dumb they would always hear "Thaw The Chicken"
