Thanks for the comments. I hoped they would be sharper but was not sure what size to upload. Your photos were brilliant.

With regard to trip...Sounds like a plan for the future. (would have to get a chitty from the wife!!)

I see powerplants here classified by Class V, VI etc. can someone define that. thanks.

I believe you are refering to the Indian Locos(?) which have a loading rating of V or V1. Not to be confused with the class numbers.

I am sure someone else looking at these photos will know more and post a reply.

[chill9280]

Yes you are right. I mean Class M8, M9 etc.

M2, M6, M8, M9 etc etc denotes the loco class numbers given by Sri lanka Railways.

M stands for main Line.
