Good job, Subhabrata. A great step forward for IR ... even though this loco cab reminds me of Shanx's "Elec Bill Counter" ... maybe this is the "Elec Company HQ" albeit diesel-powered! :-) Posted by Gautam on 2012 Apr 29 20:29:03 +0000 |

Yes, Deepak, it has slightly wider windows than previous examples. Some recent WDG-4s are the same - some more develpoment by DLW! I think it looks better too. Posted by Dan Cross on 2012 Apr 28 21:29:45 +0000 |

The three air reservoirs are visible in this view - MR1 and MR2 (the main reservoirs for the braking system)and the cylindrical, air start reservoir. The box on the right of the fuel tank contains NiCad batteries for standby electrical power. Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2012 Apr 28 18:48:42 +0000 |

In a departure from IR's tradition with diesels, this prime mover cranks with an air starter rather than an electric starter motor. The loco is provided with an independent air start reservoir visible under the frame (the cylindrical tank next to the fuel tank). Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2012 Apr 28 18:34:59 +0000 |

These are the screens from the Gen2 FIRE system - there are duplicate screens on the other control stand. Posted by Apurva Bahadur on 2012 Apr 28 18:06:37 +0000 |
