Why are the windows of car 1 white?

I think thats supposed to be reflected light from sun or something.

I don't know, considering other windows are not white I'd imagine that means the front 3/4 of the drive car is for equipment, different from other EMUs.

Not a official comment or source, but I saw at a railfan's blog that rheostatic brake equipment was installed in that area.

I received Railers magazine featuring HEMU-430X yesterday. According to this magazine, original plan was to install rheostatic brake at the MC car, but this plan was cancelled during the development process, so no rhesotatic brake is installed on MC car (test equipment is installed instead), even though the appreance of the car looks so.

So in the production model, those blacked out portions of car 1 will be passenger seats?

Well I don't know but I guess so. It would look like the TC car.

Design Drafts of KTX on Honam HSR

Korail announced KTX design drafts of Honam HSR(scheduled to open in 2014). Basically it's almost identical to KTX-Sancheon with some modification. Total 22 trainsets (220 cars) will be introduced.

I really like the yellow and blue paint schemes. Do you know if any of the modifications will help improve the reliability of the Sancheon?

Silly_Walks · May 4th, 2012, 06:25 AM

I like the red paint job, if the paint was a dark blue

Looks like they borrowed from the Velaro...

love it, hoping to see it in service very soon.

aquaticko · May 19th, 2012, 04:01 AM

Has it actually been clocked at 430km/h yet, or is that just the goal?
