Queensway Blk 168A Residental HDB - Thames Valley/Marryat & Scott High-Speed Elevator

Believed to be refurbished in the 90s, these lifts have a unique green interior, voice announcement and see-through window that is unusually smaller than other HDB elevators. Lift A's (right door, right panel) button fixtures are visibly different from B and C, while Lift C (left door, left panel) is a lateral image of Lift B (right door, right panel). They also appear to travel much faster than other HDB elevators in its time.

The video merges rides onboard Lifts A and B. Did not attempt to wait for Elevator C, as there is an ongoing funeral at the first level.

Technical specifications :
Floors served : 1, 6, 10, 14, 18
Manufacturer : Marryat and Scott, Refurbished by Thames Valley
History : MUP/IUP refurbished

Oh. I know. This is an EXPRESS LIFT elevator.

From another video this seems to be the case. But its different from the newly-built versions in newer HDBs in many aspects. This elevator appears to be unique in Singapore.

whats with the british chime and accent?

i think this is quite an old building right?

[mailerdiablo]

Yes, and it has a rather unique design. Other blocks around it are the standard refurbished two-door elevators.

It's a bitsa (bits of this bits of that )

[justinpeng1998]

anyway when i looked at the doors of these three elevators on the ground floor, they have the characteristic of a restaurant kitchen door rather than an elevator

[justinpeng1998]

this isn't even an Express or LG, just a tiny Marryat and Scott modernized by Thames Valley Controls. Hold the outer doors open gently a bit after the lift doors close and you get a rather loud siren, which is not supposed to be happening in new elevators. Anyway, its only a matter of time before these three unique lifts fall to the LUP axe as seen from a notice pasted in the building's ground floor

[MoriTakere]

I am going to take the Lifts: A,B and C.

[justinpeng1998]

Marryat and Scott modernised/MUPed by Express

[kttandon]

but i think it's LG.

because the buttons may look like LG and EXPRESS LIFT,BUT EXPRESS LIFT IS ANOTHER TYPE.

SO THIS IS LG.
