  Some Japanese-made trains sound almost the same, I think. Hope its motor sound sounds more nicer than C151 and C751B !

  Maybe it sounds like the C751B, or the M-Train?

  M-Train? Are you serious? M-Train sounds so plain.

  C371 or E233 sound. I believe those are the most recent uses of Kawasaki VVVF Inverter motors (correct me if I'm wrong, though).

  C371 uses GTO.

  I agree that. The sound are more interesting than C151. But hopefully can beat C751B? And I think I put favourite train model on C151A in the future. If the interior smell and sound are good.

  Does Anybody know that the C151A Car Length Is 500 M Longer Than C751B?

  And The Door Closing Light Is The Same As C151 AND The Door Ontop have a sensor?

  Can't be. It's obvious. C651 is made from SeeMents (spelling fail, lol) and therefore can't be the C651 engine sound..

  1) All same as if one is 200M longer/shorter, it can't fit into the station nicely.

  2) Yes.

  One car only 23.5m (trailer)/23m (motor), one train 139m. If one car 500m longer, it's same a C751B consisting 21 cars.

  LOL

  Then C151A smells brand new :P 

  And wish that SMRT will put automatic air refreshener in trains because it will be useful during evening peak hours.

  C151 >> Aircon smell +especially fresh from Marina Bay one.

  C651 >> Old smell simliar with the un-refurbished C151

  C751B >> Interior Seats +Aircon smell

  C151A >> ?

  C651s do not smell like unrefurbished C151. The unrefurbished C151s smell can be found on refurbished C151s occasionally (thats when memories flood back).

  C151A should smell like C151s when they just come out from refurbishment, the acrylic smell. :)

  Sounds is up to you guys to figure out (have fun) but the propulsion system is confirmed to be Fuji Electric Systems Japan (富士電機システム).

  

  Translate: Fuji Electric Systems completed the development of the propulsion system and auxillary power system (Static Inverter, SIV) for the 22 sets/132 cars C151A for Singapore MRT. These systems are handed over to Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and when (train) tests are completed, will be used on the (extra) trains for NSEWL.

  The systems are developed based on those already in use on the C751B, and this achieved reliability and short development time. The high standards in safety on software is checked based on the SIL2 of IEC 61508 safety standards, pushing safety beyond the levels of the current standards.

  So maybe it can sound like the C751B and SMELL like the C751B. Or maybe smell can be the smell of KHI workers. JKJK.

  Nope, still support the C151As to smell the C751B

  Well, did you'll realise the car no. starts with 35xx and not 34xx? Y is that so? C751 is 33xx but then they should haf cont the number from after 3353 or 3354.. shouldnt they?

  Kawasaki
  - Establish train design and oversees project.
  - Procure parts from Fuji Electric and other subcontractors.

  CSR
  - Assembly of train
  - Testing of train

  How u noe it is 35XX and not 34XX?

   

  If that is the case, then it means they want to avoid a 3444 to be involved in a suicide incident because some C151As arrive when the PSDs are not fully operational.
