I've done it. I've had the experiance of travelling on the buffer beam of these beasts alongwith the local 'junta'.

Lovely photo and my current desktop background. It is near the small hill to the right where the following video was shot - http://www.vimeo.com/903887 .

To the left of the railway lines and to the right of the tower (faitly visible), is 'Duke's Nose' (the faintly visible mountain which looks like a portion has been cut out of it)

I guess the engineers weren't smart enough, else they'd have broken it into two carboose.

whatever it is you can pack your horses on one side and load your sepoys on the other, and go hunting King size.

Superb photo. Your new camera is doing wonders. I agree that Pune diesels (WDM2/WDG3A & WDM3A) are great smokers & great performers too.

Something on the lines of "Yevan aaredey?" ("Now who the heck is this?")

Perhaps a different type/brand of turbo you mean which is underoing trials... But that doesnt reduce the hauling power.

Great solid-looking loco.

I think this is a 8 wheeled caboose with an extended roof.
