 Nose-suspension drives
These apparent drawbacks resulted in the decline of nose suspension drives in Japan, where their use in newly built railcars has ceased with only a few exceptions (including Tobu Railway) since the end of 1950s.
In 1950s, not only the move from nose-suspension drive to Cardan drive, but various improvements, such as bogie dynamics, car body weight reduction or the riding comfort, took place at the same time.
In Japan, too, on the 762mm narrow gauge line owned by Kintetsu (Kinki Nippon Railway), the trainsets introduced in the 1980s came with nose suspension drives because of insufficient space inside the back gauge of the wheelset, although the traction motors were of modern design and lightweight.
