Dear all,

Continuing my love of building trains from countries off the beaten track I present an Indian EMU. These run as commuter service in Mumbai and other Indian cities.

front carriage front detailing folder when moderated

The front of this train has a typical livery while the sides are decked out a completely different advertising livery. This is quite prototypical as can be seen in this picture of the real thing.

Thanks,

Tim
