I guess it could be Siemens engineers from Germany (recruited from Khao San Road). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually heard a Japanese firm came to introduce and advice upon Train Maintenance here in Bkk.. Before troll posts come.. I said 'that's what I had heard'. Also, the Drive Systems are Siemens.. Nothing to say the seals come from the same manufacturer and most probably they didn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnx355 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Those are Siemens train no ???? usually German technology is good ...and waterpoof Look to me like the Chinese made cars they added a few years ago.( cheaper than Siemens). You can recognise the round halogen lamps on the c eiling where the car connects. The Siemens does not have them if I remember correctly. And "usually" on the On Nut line they use a 4 cars Chinese train ( Siemens have 3 cars trains ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
