This looks like the train braking valve. Posted by Harsh Vardhan on 2012 Apr 30 16:52:59 +0000 |

Thanks Subho for taking all the trouble for us. This loco is HUGE and I pity the LPs driving LHF. Do they have CCTV in the Long hood? Posted by Anamitra Ghatak on 2012 Apr 30 15:32:11 +0000 |

Fantastic job Subho Da!!! Any idea when will it sent for test run? And when we can see this loco hauling a goods train? Posted by Avishek Basu on 2012 Apr 30 04:33:48 +0000 |

TOO-LATE though, but finally a locomotive has provided TOILET. :) Posted by Avishek Basu on 2012 Apr 30 04:25:56 +0000 |

Good job, Subhabrata. A great step forward for IR ... even though this loco cab reminds me of Shanx's "Elec Bill Counter" ... maybe this is the "Elec Company HQ" albeit diesel-powered! :-) Posted by Gautam on 2012 Apr 29 20:29:03 +0000 |

The three air reservoirs are visible in this view - MR1 and MR2 (the main reservoirs for the braking system)and the cylindrical, air start reservoir. The box on the right of the fuel tank contains NiCad batteries for standby electrical power. Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2012 Apr 28 18:48:42 +0000 |

In a departure from IR's tradition with diesels, this prime mover cranks with an air starter rather than an electric starter motor. The loco is provided with an independent air start reservoir visible under the frame (the cylindrical tank next to the fuel tank). Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2012 Apr 28 18:34:59 +0000 |

I must thank Apurva for his extreme efforts to find technical meaning of my meaningless pictures.
