We complain about ISRO launch videos having boring "asmaan mein garaj raha hai" type textbook Hindi commentary instead of the actual sounds of the rocket. Here we have the actual sounds, let's yenjaai onlee :). In fact, there is someone calling out some numbers in the background, I need to...

ICF coaches don't need generator cars since they are supplied electricity directly from the engine. This is not true. ICF coaches (I assume you mean the older design coaches) have batteries that are charged by dynamos. They don't use (or need) hotel load from the locomotive at all. But these batter...

Sudhanshu Mani's twitter feed is interesting. Frustration boiled over, but I'd say with justification going by the state of our media and their so-called quality of reporting.

Per info available on IRFCA, T-18 is based on WAP-5 wheelsets (wheel+axle) and FIAT bogies with LHB coach shells. The WAP-5 wheelsets being taller apparently allow suspending the traction motors under the coaches. This looks like mere system integration, but is more complicated than it sounds. Power...

A super fast express train runs at an average speed of 65 kmph. Super fast 65 kmph :(( :mrgreen: Actually, even 65kmph is difficult to achieve, and only a handful of trains apart from Rajdhani/Shatabdi class trains manage this average. The threshold to designate a train as super fast is actually 55...

I asked since the graphic specifically says 7 toll 'plazas'. Anyway, as long as it's the Hyderabad ORR model, we are good.

arshyam

It's 3 signal blocks, I think, and 5 for Rajdhani class trains. Trains without this clearance won't necessarily stop, but will slow down for sure as the blocks behind a train will be red- yellow - double yellow - green. Add additional double yellow blocks depending on the speed clearance for the tra...

I'd love to listen to Arun Shourie had he been intellectually honest with himself post-2014. He allowed his personal angst cloud his professional judgment and has been only critical of govt policy. This is from a person who had a hand in steering our economy through the post-Pokhran sanctions and ki...

@Dileep saar, I had a friend of mine double check the Kannada write up for errors and it looks fine (I also shared the English write-up to compare with). This was the Kannada write-up @Sachin saar had shared. Hope that helps.

It's standard IR practice for un-commissioned equipment. This is just the "ferry flight" equivalent on rails, much testing awaits.

It is interesting to note that the Navy went with the Amriki classification and designated the Arihant as SSBN -80. There was a discussion in the older thread where some stalwarts (tsarkar-ji?) had argued that the Arihant was neither an SSN nor an SSBN, and was a unique type amongst world navies. S...

Should we expect this sort of stuff on a regular basis? You mean some criminal will commit some crime online? You bet.

No chance. These coaches have a codal life of 30 years, and ICF was churning them out till 2017 while they ramped up LHB production. So, unless there is some mass re-export program of refurbished ICF coaches to OBOR like munnas, fat chance of replacing all of the 40,000 coaches within 5 years. I am ...
