Great work VJ!

Excellent work.

Nice. I simply appreciate your efforts.

Very informative , look at the way the Armature and the Field windings are connected , they are connected in series indicating that its a DC Series Motor implying that when connected across the supply Voltage the Current carried by the Armature and the Field windings are the same which would generate very high starting Torque.

Nice. Thank you for sharing.

Akshay, even if WR adopts this layout, their main success of further remodelling very badly depends on 30kmph turnouts. For WR this is really very crucial. Even if WR would have made the turnouts at current layout of entire BVI to 30kmph, WR wouldn't have faced much bunching & detention. Lets only keep our fingers crossed for better layout !!!

This is the layout proposed by me. For now, please refer to this message for some information. I will post another detailed message in a couple of days.

Is this a proposed layout by you or by WR? Also, could you pls indicate the benefits of this layout over the existing one?

No Mandar,Pune-Karjat is still DC.The main proof of this is the DC EMU's which still ply on the Pune-Lonavala route.But AC traction will enter on this route definitely by the end of this year.

Saw other Post by Vijay that seems to indicate Pune KJT are under AC wires now as of May 3rd, 2009.
Question:
1] If that is true or when that happens, who is going to do ghat banking duties
and
2] Are my WCG2s out of the job then ? (We dont need the DC shed then)
