Some of these people could be from the NRM. The person next to Bharath is from the broadband service provider who ensured a 2 Mbps connection *inside* the auditorium. A brand new repeater and booster was added backstage to improve connectivity inside the closed space.

The SOS for an improved connection was given only at 2300 hrs the earlier evening - next day, by late morning, the patch-up was complete! Many thanks for 'someone' on the list for the brilliant broadband!

This is one of the most beautiful NG steam locos. Used to be based at Pratapnagar. I have seen it in action in 1995

I suspect both coaches are not genuine BCCI or GIP stock but ordinary ICF products from the 1970s. These are modern integral coaches with vestibules, the paintwork tries to imitate the wooden coaches of yore. One can peek into the coaches from the far end vestibules(behind this video screen)- they are empty shells with nothing inside.

One BG coach belonged to the GIP and the other to the BB&CI Railways. Unfortunately both were locked.

That's a freshly painted WDM-3A (and not DM2). When we (Colin Peter and myself) requested for a short shunt ride on the loco, we were told that the paint hasn't dried as yet!
