	Nikhil Ganu Hello Neil, No the locos do not run. I thought of making that possible but again could not :-( I sure didn't document the building procedure. At that time my only aim was to have a real life model in front of my eyes so that I dont have to go train spotting often ! however I will definitely help anyone interested in such projects ! Trains are my fantasy :-) Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 18:53:20 +0000
	Nikhil Ganu Ohh.. kharad . i forgot to mention: pencil pieces for buffers :-), round head pins for attaching wheels to the wheel barrow. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 18:42:13 +0000
	Nikhil Ganu Kharad, It took me around one week to build this WCAM3 model (roughly 3 hrs per day). Additional time to paint it. More minute details would increase build time. Raw materials used : hard Cardboard, thermocole, carrom coins(wheels), good sturdy broomsticks (wheel assembly/pantograph), light bulbs, LED's , battery & paint :-). Good luck with your project !

	Neil Excellent work, Nikhil! I presume the locos do not run...if you've made step by step instructions on building this loco, you can post it (or sell?) it to enthusiasts. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 15:55:20 +0000
	Kharad - kharadzarirvariyava@rediffmail.com Nice work...love that loco. How long does it take on an average to make a model??? I wanna make a WCAM3 model in the current livery. Also, what are the materials i'd require. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 14:09:11 +0000
	Kharad - kharadzarirvariyava@rediffmail.com The Maroon livery of the years gone by, sure brings back old memories...Good Work! Keep it up! Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 13:59:27 +0000
	Cornelius/ sukhindersingh2003@yahoo.com Considering the resources used, you have done an excellent job! They definitely look very authentic in their typical IR liveries, shape (even the brake shoes) and also look very proportionate. Good show! Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 13:29:11 +0000
	Kharad Yah, The Rajdhani has been hauled by a WCAM1, cant remember when, but there are pics on i think Shankar's IR site, the WCAM-class loco section. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 11:29:53 +0000
	Nikhil Ganu Thanks Vrij, I did put in considerable amount of time to make these and then paint it :-) Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 28 22:11:52 +0000
	Nikhil Ganu Thanks RangNath. I would have been more satisfied if I could have made these as working , "to the scale" ones. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 28 22:09:39 +0000
