Another type of internationalisation!

An Alco WDM2 of the Indian Railways is shown in a typical dark-red livery with
yellow highlights.

It is shown with an old-style coach, also in dark-red. This is a studs-down
design (sometimes referred to as SNOB) apart from the roof and bogies. The
window bars are cut from Lego straw and pressed into place by the window panes,
which still manage to click into place!

Both items are also shown in the context of an Indian scenario - a station built
from Scorpion Palace components and a mixed population. This might be a station
in the northern Punjab in the days when a train service existed between India
and Pakistan (lets hope it is restored soon). It might also be a celebration or
a religous holiday as several elephants are being paraded - including an
immature one.

Hope you like everything. As usual your comments and crits are very welcome.

(...) Wow. Stunning work. The "crowds swarming on" scene is a favorite. I am going to have to try SNOB out, it seems a great idea for stretching limited colors farther. Toastercat seems to be a little, er "tanner"... than usual... Spotlighted! (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Steven, that is a really beautiful gallery full of wonderful MOCs! Among the models you show the passenger car is my favorite: very impressive, even in "standard red" this would have been an eye catcher! Thanks for sharing your links. Leg (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains)

Hi Steve, Ben postet the link to your gallery at our 1000steine.de newsboard. I just want to add my comments about this great MOC scene. It's brilliant and I love the use of the new dark red pieces.
