As per Jane's All The World's Railways,all WDS 5s were made and supplied by ALCO,USA...wonderful slide ( SHF especially )

Wonderful slide of a rare diesel loco.

The stance of the Loco is wonderful,only if DLW is considerate to equip further additions and also theadditions to the WDG 4 Class,twin Cabs

Thats a nice livery.. Seems the Motibaug folks are experimenting with liveries for theZDMs.. And Shanx.. thats should be an NG terminus, not an MG.. And that will be shifted to Itwari Junction soo i guess.. So no NGs at Nagpur

Way back in March 1987, this loco once hauled the then 54 Hyd-Mas Exp. all the way from Hyd to Mas. It then went to Gooty and was used in the Braganza Ghats as a banker. A pic of this is available in Phil Wormald's site. Now, since the bankers are all WDM3As, this loco has come back to KZJ. Incidentally, this is only the second Jumbo manufactured by DLW, the series having begun with 17795.

Had seen it at the Diesel-loco siding at Pune, Daund-side.

The WDS6 locos, have a standard lievry, irrespective of their sheds, like other loco sheds...Eg, Erode has its own unique livery etc. Kalyan shed WDS6s also have a similar livery, however, a handful of them have been painted in a new maroon livery.

well... gr8 sight for a jumbo fan lik me...
