  1042 has flat wheels. A rather bumpy ride ytd.

  041/042's braking feels ok.

  Problematic STARIS section is too overcrowded. Errors are common. Only list those with frequent major errors.

  Its the bogie. Our trains are unlike overseas one which have only 1 bogie. Its not a weird bogie sound. Its most probably a worn-out lubricant for the wheel. Our trains have 4 bogies (I guess). These bogies are being dragged and not being powered.

  For local MRT context:

  Each train car has two bogies. Each bogie has two axle. Each axle has two wheels.

  Total of wheels for one car: Eight.

  Total of axles: Four.

  Total of bogies: Two.

  Exceptions are Jacobs bogie (not found here), which is found in between carriages, supporting two carriages through one bogie.

  Each bogie can have one, two, three or more axles. This depends on the loading of the carriage (several designs of panaroma cars in the world has three axles to each bogie).

  The type of bogie used on MRT here are bolsterless bogies. This term is less used in English, but basically these bogies do not have bolster bar and bolster anchor to attach them to the train body and are generally low in CG, designed for low speed, but bad in damping characteristics.
