A dead as a doornail WCM-1 #20068 coupled to a WDM-4 at Delhi Safdarjung rly station.this relic had been brought as an exhibit at the nearby NRM but did not make the cut (the WDM-4 did and you and Prakash have seen it on the turntable at NRM) due to enexplicale reasons and last I knew , it was redirected to the new Rail museum near Madras. 2000. Avimanyu Pyne.

One of the 2 WCM 6’s which are stabled at BSL completely converted into AC locos. Here is 20188 waiting for some freight duty behind a LDH WAG 5. It's also stenciled in the sides - converted to work on 25KV AC supply. A question - now is this an equivalent (in HP sense) to a WAG 5 or a WAG 7? Bhusaval Electric loco shed. Taken on board the KSK to NZM.
