We need more informaton concerning this subject. We already have the technical specifications, but we also need more information, such as passenger-oriented features, history, materials used for the interior, signalling systems, propulsion systems, the public address system, and many other things. Also, were there any experimental programmes that were tested on these trains? I vaguely recall that plush seats were installed on these trains back in the 1990s, and for some time, LCD (or was it plasma?) screens were install in some of the trains. If you have time, please also consider taking a look into the Siemens C651 Cars, Kawasaki Heavy Industries & Nippon Sharyo C751B Cars, and the Alstom Metropolis Cars articles.

Yeah also I remember a time where a train door fell off (the term used was de-something) from such a train. The TV should be LCD, as I remembered it did not have a wide viewing angle as plasma and I think plasma was too expensive and not comercially available at that time. I remember showed mostly commercials, especially Navy ads at that time, and an animation of the SMRT symbol entering a circular box, played simuntanousely as the audio announcement when the train reached a station. Not very sure about others though. User:Advanced06:17, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
What about some information on MRT track guage? Do these trains run on standard guage or a proprietary system?
- The LCD was originally intended for TV Mobile, same goes for the other stocks with the TV. - Mailer Diablo 18:23, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
I notice on Sgforums that user Tamago has captured some photos on the launch of the retrofitted trains. Why not we invite him to Wikipedia and upload his photos? --Russianroulette2004 10:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- If you can contact him, sure why not! :) - Mailer Diablo 15:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Refurbishment of Trains
There has been false information being spread on which trains have been refurbished. Apparently as of currently 023/024 still has the Magnolia advertisement while 079/080 is still not refurbished, as I took it last Friday, 9 February 2007. We should prevent people from posting false information here. --Russianroulette2004 13:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
