Jul 26, 2008 - WTF Why would they care? it's like calling Australian people Aussies. If you want to offend a Japanese person you call him a Fukkn Ching Chong! Now THAT would shit you off.

Ian0723 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - BECAUSE they were called Japs during WWII, when they were interned! YOU may not know **** about it, but stop making assumptions like you just did

Jul 26, 2008 - Couldn't agree more! I can't understand why people don't pay much attention to slower local trains. Riding on this kind of fast trains is just boring and waste of time I think.

Jul 26, 2008 - Sad thing has happened. They have removed the Valenta screaming engine and replaced it with a quieter MTU from Germany. Still dosent sound too bad but the SOUL of the train has been removed.

sonofthedestroyer Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Maglevs are like silent Ferraris. The whole appeal of travelling fast is killed of when the engine is silent. No roar? No personality!

westrivertiger Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - O really? Very sad. What should be replaced the most is the brain of the guy who made that decision. And people should get that new MTU engine tuned to get screaming soulful sound again.

westrivertiger Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Yeah, and no excitement.

sonofthedestroyer Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Yes that is an idea! Should ask them to make the MTU scream if they cant bring back Valenta.Britain keeps these trains because it cant afford the new high tech stuff found in Japan but it works out well in some ways.

westrivertiger Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - High tech and speed is good thing but it sometimes kill something in our lives I think... And as for the high tech and speed, Euro people already have the great ones, TGV and German maglev.

Jul 26, 2008 - westrivertiger. I actually have it in writing from someone who used to be on youtube. His site was removed for other reasons. The Japanese Maglev is different to the German Transrapid ie The Chinese (German version). I must find the details the chap gave to me.

cattleman6420012000 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - westrivertiger. I found the details the chap told me: The Japanese Maglev uses superconductors. They need a lot of energy, but they have a lot of power. He said the German Maglev is cheaper to run,even cheaper than concentional trains. The German Maglev did about 550 kmh top speed due to the old test track. On newer track trains would be similar.

Jul 26, 2008 - Wow!!!!!!!look what superconductivity can do....when I studied the levitation effect of these substances I should say, I was amazed...Science is just freakin' unpredictable...alwayz something new to discover
