This is a model of the WCAM-3 type loco built by BHEL. The raw material used to build the model is : hard cardboard, thermocole, broomsticks/carrom coins(for wheel assembly), metal sheets to addrigidity and finally real light bulbs/LED's for the light assembly. A battery operates the lights on the loco. It is not a \"to the scale\" model. Its just made out of sheer observation. The visible livery existed back in 1998 when I made the model. My home (Mumbai, India), 1997-05. By Nikhil Ganu.

Hey Nikhil, thanks a lot for your tips...the WCAM3 is my favourite loco, and am really wanting to make a model of it. Thanks once again, and keep up the work of art!!!

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...
