The M1's gave good service but had some design deficiencies which caused them to fail during cold weather and especially during snowstorms. The M-7 was designed specifically to address these problems by enclosing the electrical equipment inside the car instead of underneath as on the M-1. This is not something which an overhaul could correct. Of course this has the unfortunate consequence of reducing seating capacity. |
