Sorry to say this, but the finish seems very ordinary and unprofessional. Look at the extra red paint dropped below the stripe. Also, the horizontal line above "30242" doesn't seem to be a smooth straight one.

Binai,you could be right that it might be on lighter notches. Karan were you able to hear the chugging sounds of the WDM3A? If not, then the loco must be switched off and it must be the partial leftover smoke coming out. This Kazipet beauty smokes like anything and it can give good competition to Pune WDM2 & WDM3A's too. It had smoked so much after clearing caution order at Bhivpuri Road that I could not see Kaushik Dharwadkar & Bhushan Kale who were standing well ahead of me.

On many instances, LP's of WCAM's switch off the blowers right from Karjat till Palasdhari gradient and once after clearing the Palasdhari climb, Lp's of WCG2 bankers inform the Lp of WCAM3 through walkie talkie to start it and after that the LP switches on the blowers.

Who is the uploader of this picture? Thanks for the New Year gift and the loco looks purely amazing. Infact the tallest loco to have appeared on Indian Railway.

wood finish...hanging palace lights...mirrors and seat covers makes it even more better than the modern day luxury trains!!
