I was in Delhi last year after completing the my north India trip last year. It was a quick stopover and had to catch Rajdhani next day to BRC. So went to visit Akshardham with parents. While returning back to hotel I just remembered about the National Rail Museum. Reached there and found that entry was closed 5 minutes before. Also some sections of rail museum were under renovation. Still I kindly requested the security personnels to allow entry. Luck struck and was told to enter the museum. Went straigth to the toy train that circles whole museum. It was last ride for the day and so there were only a few visitors. The ride was awesome. Than as the we deboarded again went to check locomotives and coaches in outdoor exibition. The pics are attached. I'll upload more pics as soon as I get free as they need resizing. Now...
more...
Enjoy!

Overall I was quite pleased to see the efforts of Railways. I had to leave at 5:45 as it was way past closing time. So it was sad to not see the museum in full glory. Definite visit next time I visit Delhi with a full day dedicated. A must visit for every railfan. Will upload rest pics soon. Thanks.

Nice pics.. and imp, the info is readable..
As per the info in Pic 24, Deccan Queen used to take 2:45 hrs for Mumbai-Pune in 1930 with WCP-1 in lead on 1500 V DC.
And in 2016, it takes 3:15 hrs with WCAM-3 on 25 kV AC. ;)
Hope Tejas will improve the speed..
