@ Karan :- From past two years Mumbai members [including you] have been coming to Pune for celebration rather than covering the 2123 Celebrations fully at CSTM. There is more than enough coverage of DQ's birthday here in Pune , we need more from the 2123 Down DQ's celebration from the Platform number 8 of CSTM , that's what Appu sir meant and nothing wrong.

@Apurva: Sir, Mumbai gang did its bit- we travelled to Pune at midnight just to be present at the celebration and take the Queen back home. Isn't it better for all railfans to come together and have one consolidated celebration rather than two different ones?
BTW, did not spot you at Pune. Were you somewhere else?

@Anant: Sir, that is why Deccan Queen's Dining Car (NOT Pantry) is so popular! The menu also includes other "unusual" items like Veg. Pizza, Cheese Toast, Chicken Cutlets in addition to usual Veg. Cutlet, Omelets, Toast Butter etc, all served in fine china crockery, not aluminium foil boxes.

@Harish: That is NZM-PUNE Duronto with ICF Rajdhani EOG coach.

Somebody has to go to the shed and decorate the loco - it is not done by the railways but by the enthusiasts and users.

My word! baked beans & toast on a train pantry menu :-O. Is it available on regular basis?

Some Celebrations that! Pune guys really know how to pamper Her Majesty The Queen!

So is this D10 Connected to the vestibule or not?, from a few years these types of coaches are seen on PUNE-CSTM Trains?, But all windows seem to be closed?

Yes ! Must've been a reason though. I too spotted it one time.

Which is the ICF Raj liveried rake seen in the background?
