Previous train models Here are some more pictures of my creation. Rajdhani Superfast :The below picture is of the Beautiful 'Rajdhani Superfast' that plys on the 'Western Railway' between Mumbai (Bombay) and the nations capital city of New-Delhi. It takes around 17 hours to cover a distance of 1100 Kms.In the early days (1980's) it used to be hauled by Multiple diesel Engine units , a sight that is rarely seen nowadays( 1999) and is being replaced by the mighty 'WCAM'. Note the color matching Diesel Engine Locomotive at the extreme right and the Railway signal in front of it. The electric motor unit :The below picture shows the Front rake of the Suburban Train plying on the rails of Mumbai (Bombay) city. The technical name is EMU (Electric Motor Unit). It works on DC supply. There exists an alternate 'red-white' color scheme being introduced (year 1999) on some of the rakes to replace the existing 'chrome yellow - burnt sienna' scheme. The beautiful Indrayani express :The below picture is of the 'Indrayani express' plying between the two metros : Mumbai (Bombay) and Pune.The train is named after a river that runs midway between the two cities. It covers a distance of 183 Kms in approx. 3 hours & 45 minutes. Ocassionally , it is called as 'Neeli Rani' (Blue Queen). The color scheme is the same as that of the 'Deccan Queen', 'Deccan express' & the 'Sinhagad express' (additional trains plying between the two metros)
