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 |

So finally "THE NOT SO CHOTA BHEEM" is ready to hit the tracks. Its heartening to learn that LP comfort and ergonomics are given due importance. Eagerly waiting for the specifications of the loco. Posted by Anant K Singh on 2012 Apr 28 05:58:28 +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.
