Sorry, if I confused you, but I rarely travel in the 4th carriage so don't
know about electric motors, traction etc. as I not an expert in electric
trains...

My point is - does traction motor work or still operates in the middle D***
cars of the Tangara ie. the 8 car consists of {T17 D***, N***, N***, D***
(which I been in today) & T45 D***, N***, N***, D***.} as I did not hear the
normal electric acceration sound. And does all D*** meant to operate their
traction motors or just some selected ones?

Hope this clear this misunderstanding or confusion or otherwise just ask:)
