To restore them for historical reason is one.
But CR could restore WCMX and WCG2s as WASMX and WAS2 (for shunting duties)
I will be happy to see the AC machinary fitted WCG2 (now WAS2) and may be painted tiger faced, hauling rakes around BBVT / BCT area.

May be the locos will be changed at LNL/KJT if it is up direction or it must have got WCG-2s from KJT/LNL if it is in the down direction.

IRY 20 coaches have been around for more than a decade now, always with the Swarn Shatabdi exp. I have traveled in these coaches during Dec 1998. And later in 2004 also. The toilets of these coaches are after the doors, ie, doors are at the extreme end. The windows are really huge. They used to have velvet upholstery back in 1998, but in 2004 it was plain rexine.
