Also, the ICF coaches are a little shorter than the LHB coaches in length

Hi Aero - good progress!
What is the scale? Have you considered 1/250? I think your models would lend themselves to this scale, which is nice as you do not need a lot of space to display short rakes and lots of coaches. I think your models would be easy to convert...... Here is an example of a 1/250 tram I made which gives you an idea of what is possible in this scale. Prague Lubricating Tram in 1/250 Also, one of the important things about railway models this size is that you do not have to cut out lots of wheels!

Hi Elliot - your earlier post refers.
Nope, I have not lived in India. Though I would liked to have. Since I was little though I have been fascinated with Indian Railways and their history - it is a vast subject, with still lots of areas to research and books to be written. I also have Indian friends with rail connections. One day maybe I will get there! And as you say, the railways and history there is indeed a fascinating subject. One of my more specific areas of interest has also been railway gauges (the reason for, how etc) and I have written a few articles on this for magazines in the past. India alone has currently 4 gauges to speak of, although they are trying hard to rationalize. In the past, they had many more. The engineering reasons behind the gauge choices is interesting, as were/are the methods used in Indian to cope with all the plethora of gauges and the resulting complexity. A friend of mine in India did what I would have thought was impossible - he produced an atlas of Indian Railways in detail, which also included all the gauges. The fact also is that he is a very talented graphics artist - I doubt that anyone without this background (and a love of trains) would have been able to do the job as elegantly and competently as he did!
