A YG class (Y refers to Meter Gauge classification in India) steam loco standing outside the north eastern city of Guwahati.

Perched outside Ambala station, this NG loco (only on display, not use) harks back to a different era

Final image from my collection of Rail Museum, Delhi. I didn’t knew the Metadata of the associated image since I took them 2+ years ago (read:details), so had to look up on Arts and Culture.

Standing in the scorching sun, just me and the loco....

I am not sure if it’s on meter or Narrow Gauge. The image is ~2 years old and I neglected to note the specifications.

I took the image in 2016 with a shitty handycam, hence the poor quality....

Used by the British in pre Independence era, now kept as a showpiece in National Rail Museum, Delhi

Now decommissioned of course, this stands as a relic outside a railway station as a fragment of the gone era

The NG diesel loco that hauled the Satpura Railway in central India (Gauge converted now), it now rests in a museum

Hi, I hope this is okay, I made some progress on a line art photobash to go with the scene I was describing and I was hoping to run it by you folks in case anything needs to change (scale, layout, etc) before I get into the detail work....

Housed in a museum now, this engine was the first one shipped to this zone/area of Indian Railways
