Kharad, you are right. i tried to clean image with "Neatimage" (to the extent i could manage) as original image was in ISO 1250. Fuzziness at some points is resultant of that.

That is A MASTERPIECE... Deepak be proud and take a bow your picture received rave reviews from my American bosses during a serious meeting... jumbo helped lighten a tough situation!!! Hats off to your perseverance and am glad that you favorite "Desparado moments" did not come in between. Great Work!!! And promise me to take me there when I come visiting next.

@Abhinav: The paint job is by DLW, not the sheds. These are new locos.

Has this image been photoshopped to some extent by smudging the surroundings?? Atleast it kinda gives that effect

Aseem Bhai, in very brief, IGBTs are high speed power electronic semiconductors that control power input from 3 phase diesel generator to traction motors. These are next generation devices to gate turn off (GTO)thyristors. Siemens is primary contractor supplying these to DLW. You may want to see page 2 of this document.
