thats an induction cooker and does not heat the plate

neat fittings, with aircraft type nozzles! All ERS locos have cab ready for fitting AC

For one moment I just felt, I am seeing some brand new locos with superb class facilities for the LPs. No wonder, the LPs would love to stay inside these locos more than their duty time. I only pray that all such cabs of WDM class locos undergo such revamp in the time to come.

Each and every moments have been very nicely and beautifully captured & covered and documented. Thanks a ton for such wonderful treat. Keep it up.

Wowww. Thats fantastic.

Excellent layout. Almost perfect.

I am afraid I am not so sure about this layout. The Speedometer should have been right in front in place of the brake gauge. Also, the notch handle is at an angle, which would make it awkward for the LP to operate. One good thing about this layout is the microprocessor LCD readout of key engine parameters are at lease right in front for the LP to consult, instead of it being in the back panel on all locos I have seen.

Poochi and Gang, Excellent eye for detail in capturing all the key components and innovations in the cabs. Felt like I attended the contest in person. Thanks!

@ Akshay: I strongly believe this kind of competition amongst sheds is to bringout new ideas, concepts, and to encourage them to showcase their stuff. This raises the adrenaline rush amongst the sheds to look for new innovation to showcase in their contestants. Whether it is implemented or not in long run is not the question now... this is purely to raise a sense of game/competition amongst the sheds.

Perfect for the GOC Rockers! :-)
