Excellent Bharat and good that you try different things. You could have uploaded this in FC too?

Yes absolutely Ashish, these are the same locos which were previously at KYN yard, and now are at the LNL UP yard outside the C&W workshop.

I wonder whether this could be brought back to life. By looking at the state in which the loco is, it should not be difficult do restore this loco.

Looks really Handsome , nice shot Sachin bhai !!!

Wonderful to see a WG. The first shot of a plinthed WG on our server.

Nice details. The steam jets that encourage a draught through the chimney are visible below the blast pipe.

Rare catch - thanks for sharing. Was this a self-propelled affair?

i think this magnificent piece of machinery could be restored by NRM. hope this subject can be introduced to the director of NRM during NRM 2010.

Swinging the buffer out of the way would allow the crane to come closer to the object being lifted. Even a few critical inches could make a significant difference to the amount of load lifted by the crane.

This is very similar to modern earth moving machinary used. Instead of steam, Hydraulic (high pressure oil) is used. The crank shaft would transfer power to worm which would then rotate wheel gear (middle right)rotating the whole assembly over thrust bearing. Its sad to see however such a fine machine rusting away
