They have more computer components than an M1/3 which would increase weight,Modern computer components would add a negligible amount of weight. the bathrooms that are larger also increase weight a bit. The bathroom may be larger, but that doesn't mean it weighs more. Most likely, the larger bathroom probably weighs less than the seats that would have been in that space. The motors and components are heavier because they are stored in heavy cabinets underneath the train which help protect it from the elements. it still doesn't explain the weight problem. A heavy cabinet is not necessary. You can have a strong cabinet with lighter-weight material(which is sometimes stronger than with heavier-weigt material. |
