    • Just a question I'd like to ask. Which train do you guys like/prefer?

      Trains involved: C151, C651, C751B, C151 Refurbished

      Consider terms like:

      Motor sound when accelerating & stopping. (Quietness, sounds nice/soothing)

      Interior design (LED displays/colour/chairs/doors)

      Exterior design (Eg, run number, doors etc.)

       

      For me, I like all 3 in terms of motor sound so it's hard to decide. C151 has a soothing sound, C651 is music to my ears, C751B sounds cool.

      For the interior I like the C651. It has nice doors, and the non-wooden like floors look good.

      Exterior I'd prefer the refurbished C151. It has nice blue tinted windows, nice head, shiny walls.

       

      But I would probably like the refurbished C651 when it comes out :D

    • IMO, the LED displays are under utilized, should show other info apart from the time and stop

    • Seems like a lot like C651 for the motor /: NO IDEA WHY SOME COMMUTERS ALWAYS COMPLAIN THAT IT'S IRRITATING.

      All 3 motors are music.

      But C751A a bit irritating, it's true. Too many "beats" and a bit draggy though it may sound like C651.

      Motor = C751B. Very 'space-age'.

      C151 nice when it's got that deep sound as it accelerates along the CBD tracks. I don't like the soft, high-pitch hiss.

      Interior = tie btw refurb c151 and c751b

      exterior = c751b ftw! but ccl metropolis trains' exterior paintwork / sticker-work also looks nice

    • The CCL one looks nice but a bit weird without the grey part below like the C151 Refurb and C751B's.

      And you found the word for me!! Space-age type!!!! :D

      But ya, agreed. Draw for C151 Ref and C751B. C151 got nice chairs but no LED display, C751B got ugly chair colours but got that modern type look.

      But they gonna switch off all liao ):

       Announcement voice: C751B and Refurbished C151 (better quality sound)

    • Forgive me for being weird.

      I like the refurbished trains over the ones on the NEL.

      The clanging sound of the train wheels rolling over the tracks is definitely cool for me because it reminds me that I’m on a train.
