TOO-LATE though, but finally a locomotive has provided TOILET. :)

Good job, Subhabrata. A great step forward for IR ... even though this loco cab reminds me of Shanx's "Elec Bill Counter" ... maybe this is the "Elec Company HQ" albeit diesel-powered! :-)

Yes, Deepak, it has slightly wider windows than previous examples. Some recent WDG-4s are the same - some more develpoment by DLW! I think it looks better too.

The three air reservoirs are visible in this view - MR1 and MR2 (the main reservoirs for the braking system)and the cylindrical, air start reservoir. The box on the right of the fuel tank contains NiCad batteries for standby electrical power.

In a departure from IR's tradition with diesels, this prime mover cranks with an air starter rather than an electric starter motor. The loco is provided with an independent air start reservoir visible under the frame (the cylindrical tank next to the fuel tank).
For regular operations, the Autostart system will keep the air tank charged. In case the loco has been dead for a while, air from another coupled loco can apparently charge the air start reservoir.

These are the screens from the Gen2 FIRE system - there are duplicate screens on the other control stand.
