True. But I think IR should become less stringent about standards and should keep a bare minimum standard for such work while allowing sheds and zones some freedom in designing the rest of the schemes. This way, IR gets what it wants and so does everyone else. For example, the Railway Board should specify exactly how the numbers must be written on the front of the loco while leaving it to the shed to decide how it must be painted on the sides according to their own paint schemes.

Great pics. Interesting font for the road number. IR has some standards for stenciling the numbers, eg, so many mm high, so many mm wide etc and has position to write the road numbers, eg so many meters from both ends etc. Also there is a specific...

Great pics. Interesting font for the road number. IR has some standards for stenciling the numbers, eg, so many mm high, so many mm wide etc and has position to write the road numbers, eg so many meters from both ends etc. Also there is a specific font to write the road numbers, class, shed name (similar to Arial). This does not seem to follow any of these. Was this a trial or prototype of the 6P+DB+HS version WAM 4? The Humanoid symbol still exist on some WAM 4's of AJJ, transferred from Tata
