dgbubai101@rediffmail.comMaybe both the WAG 7s were in MU Connexion and maybe for this reason,the pantograph of the second one was not raised;or perhaps the second one was 'dead'.The liveryis best for the WAG 7s. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 20:54:59 +0000 |

dgbubai101@rediffmail.comYes this livery is great,and e'en the green-yellow combination is wonderful...I prefer to see the Jumper Cables intact Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 20:37:03 +0000 |

dgbubai101@rediffmail.comI find that the earlier livery of the WAG 7s,lent these locos a distinct personality...I do not like the waist-level twin beam Headlights. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 20:35:01 +0000 |

Kharad - kharadzarirvariyava@rediffmail.comHey Nikhil, thanks a lot for your tips...the WCAM3 is my favourite loco, and am really wanting to make a model of it. Thanks once again, and keep up the work of art!!! Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 20:04:27 +0000 |

Hello Neil, No the locos do not run. I thought of making that possible but again could not :-( I sure didn't document the building procedure. At that time my only aim was to have a real life model in front of my eyes so that I dont have to go train spotting often ! however I will definitely help anyone interested in such projects ! Trains are my fantasy :-) Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 18:53:20 +0000 |

Ohh.. kharad . i forgot to mention: pencil pieces for buffers :-), round head pins for attaching wheels to the wheel barrow. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 18:42:13 +0000 |

Nikhil GanuKharad, It took me around one week to build this WCAM3 model (roughly 3 hrs per day). Additional time to paint it. More minute details would increase build time. Raw materials used : hard Cardboard, thermocole, carrom coins(wheels), good sturdy broomsticks (wheel assembly/pantograph), light bulbs, LED's , battery & paint :-). Good luck with your project !

ashokbmThis is definitely for the showcase! What more could a railfan ask for? A lovely winter morning, a lovely curve (railway), a train with some special status attached to it, the approaching ghats. Man! this has all the elements! Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 17:52:28 +0000 |

The small one is indeed junior officers' saloon and I have travelled on it on a couple of occasions as a child with my Dad who was medical officer in this railway.The one at the right is the General manager and Chief Engineer's saloon. Posted by Guest on 2004 Mar 29 16:45:29 +0000 |
