Pre-refurbishment of Siemens C651

How I wish it can be my lucky train 215/216.

i find the sound of C151, C751B and C751A nicer than the C651 sound. i dunno why, when i listen to C651 sound pulling off and stopping it just doesnt feel comfortable.

Probably would never happen, but hoping that they would modulate the propulsion system to Keikyu standards.

mine is can see part of the stn as the rest is blocked by the shopping centre..

i'm residing at the 10th floor so its just the nice level for spottings..

Mine is ninth floor.

I live near Khatib. However, to see trains, I must pop my head out.

On a final note, NSL is pampered with lots of C651 on weekends. It seems like 1 in every 3 trains is C651.

dun forget they are interchangeable..

so now its NSL for example then later it would be the EWL turn to get the C651s..

And NSL gets C751Bs ... ...

Cuurrently, there are few C751Bs on NSL on weekends.

The motor sounds of C651s are souding weirder and weirder.

Stage SG

doubt they will change..

the C151s they oso didn't change, the "strip" for the C151s & C751Bs are similar if I'm not wrong..

Harhar. The black strip is actually functions like sandpaper to provide roughness. Whereas the C151 and C751B's have nothing other then metal.

Do you mean when the train enters a stn at a lower speed? Like this (203/204)?

Also Siemens GTO-VVVF, similiar to the C651.

237/238 spotted on EWL today @ 1115hrs..

had signs pasted on the windows & doors - no entry sign together with the words "test train"..

nganmatthias SG

If you see carefully, the C151s had their window panes replaced but not the door panes. There is an outstanding difference. If C651s have an outer body similar to C151s and C751Bs after refurbishment, should the door panes be replaced the window and door panes would most likely look the same. If the door panes are not replaced, you will see it tainted green.

QX179R SG

237/238 had part of its flooring refurb..
