Spotted this fellow at Pune on 10th Saturday 2011 in the lungi between PF1 and the Running Room, so in all probability has been allocated to Pune.

Shanx..just sent u the orig pics of the loco to help decide if there is a slant in the hood. I was worried the WAG9 would get the starter anytime to X-over to mainline, so clicked without stepping back, and composing the shot :)

DMW Patiala doesn't exactly build new locos, but assembles them from components sent by DLW, the same way as Parel workshop does. Also, it appears that the short hood of the loco is slanted, like the one in the one of WDM3F. But is it really slanted or result of lens distorton when open fully wide?

Are Wdm3d 's also very Powerful like WDP4's and WDG4's ???..........Plus The Loco Is Looking Brilliant and Charming

@ Vishwas ..I zoomed in on the original..It says 'Diesel Loco Modernization Works' ..so that seems to be the new name for the older DCW indeed... WOuld the 1 new loco be this one's predecessor perhaps :)

@ Kharad ... Itarsi comes to mind as holding Diesels ... Not sure if Jhansi also qualifies : CR or NCR (likely).

@ Ujjwal .. my query exactly .. I am aware they re-built them, but was not sure they make entirely new ones - and the road number is too recent to make it a rebuild.

Isn't Diesel Component Works an older name Diesel Loco Modernization Works. DMW has taken to building new locos. The info is there on the webpage itself which says "During 2010-11, DMW has rebuilt 110 locos including 1 new ALCO WDM3D Loco"

Any other sheds besides KYN & PUNE that have a Diesel loco holding??

Great catch, look at those Red buffers!! :-O
btw when DCW, Patiala started manufacturing New locomotives?
