VOR in India.
I'm not sure where this is chaps, but this loco looks somewhat familiar does it not?

I was going to suggest that it was built by Davies & Metcalf, the builders of the V.O.R. locos, but on checking I found that they only ever built the two locos!
Regards, 62440. (My 1000th post) This will sort it out for you, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalka-Shimla_Railway They're British built but not Swindon! Last edited by 62440; 6th August 2010 at 23:47.

Yes probably now I come to think of it.
The locos no longer work? Thats a big shame, but repatriation. Perhaps the designs for the VOR locos were copied? I should say that although they were built by Davies and Metcalfe they have been swindonised. Congrats on your 1000th post.

Did you not see the Indian Hill Railways series on BBC earlier this year ? [All 3 programmes were excellent ]

Yes, great series. A great thing was that it was also about the people that work the lines and not just the steam.
