DesignindiaDear Sunil, Pradeep & other rail-fans,
Here is the photo gallery link: http://www.irfca.org/gallery (no errors this
time!). Try searching with "aerodynamic" or "LHB" and see the results.
If Reb or any other Mozaicers are lurking here, please share your experience
of skybus design for Konkan Rail - I do remember an unfortunate accident
that de-railed (pun unintended) the project for a while.
For the skeptics, we've managed to form some very good relationships with IR
design managers (without any social/personal or governmental connectivity)
and although still collaborating at a modest scale, we find them open and
surprisingly proactive. Watch this space, or better still, write to me if
you're willing to participate (with full awareness of the vast difference
between working with government set-ups and the corporate sector).
Personally, I find rail coaches becoming more and more like aircraft, and
thereby losing out on the very essence of a rail journey.
Best wishes,
Arvind Lodaya
