Steam Loco lying near Noida !!!
A narrow gauge tank locomotive is lying in a farm land (soon to be converted into a housing complex) near Bhangel More at Dadri road. On conversation with the owner it was revealed that this locomotive was based at Patna . He has PURCHASED two such locomotives. One is lying at Bhangel more and other at Ballabhgarh. He had something in mind for this locomotives but unable to do due to fund restriction. Cant we do anything ????

If the owner of this locomotive is willing to give it away, it can be restored for placing on a pedestal at the very least. If there is interest, please contact me through the gallery address.
