What kind of grease is used ? It would be an awfull thing to happen if any amount of grease would get onto the top of the rails !!

good shot Jimmy!!

Wow! Looks nice! And IR's obsession with vinyls over paints reaches logos too! I am sure no painter would be able to replicate this complicated logo on all locos!

thanks.....they r next on list

lovely model! Tamish,if time permits,also create the WAG-6B/C locomotives for MSTS.

A very nicely composed picture Biju. Good job!

really good article..cheers to Times of India for making IRFCA even more popular...

Good article. The last line says it all- "if you find someone standing near the loco inspecting it and he's not in railways uniform, be sure he's an IRFCA member - or a potential member". Very true :)

Looks like something that is used to mix things ? Could be concrete or tar ? Some sort of centrefugal mixer ?

SPI means Shunt Permitted Indicator.However,conventional Shunt signals like the one mounted on the main post are also called SPIs.However the function of the special signal is difficult to guess unless the yard layout is studied closely or maybe someone could ask the station staff?It seems the signal is an improvised unit and has a mesh grille on both the sides which implies that its meant to be visible from both sides?One purpose of the SPI may be to indicate the route and is displayed in conjunction with the shunt signal.
