Blast from the past. YDM4 6265 departing from Jaipur, circa 1993. These were still steam days and I guess it was going to be hard keeping that nose clean. Don't like the colour scheme, it would better suit an ice-cream van!

MG between TBM - VM is disappearing quite fast. Look at the almost empty MG Trip shed at VM. Couple of months before when the chennai gang made a trip to this place, I could see more than a dozen YDM's. This time only 5.
