How old are you now (trying to judge by the features visible on the locomotive)?

I am in 1st year B.E. (18 years old). I have made this drawing purely based on my memory since childhood while travelling in Tamilnadu Express and really I have never been to any Art Class in my life.

Splendid painting! if you drew this from your memory i'd say you have a remarkable memory! you should seriously consider a career or a hobby in painting .

Attention to details...... full marks!!

Very nice drawing, and since you are pursuing a career in engineering, you very aptly fit into architecture field! Good luck, ahead - Muzzammil

Wow brilliant. But if this way drawn when you were 16 (and you say you are 18 now), how in the world did you visualize the P5/7 style window pane and bar handle on this old P4? Also did you just imagine 22217 to be a top headlight WAP 4 with roof mounted DBR's and high speed webbed pantographs?

@Siddhartha: Actually I didn't have much knowledge about loco numbers at that time except that 22 was the initial two digits of WAP series. Thus I created my own number. Sorry for the mistake.

I want it to be displayed at any railway premises if it is worth enough. Please guide me.

Cool!

Very nice. As to displaying it, I think the CPRO of your zone/ PRO of your division would be able to help you out.
