Comments:The damage caused by scraping with the edges of platform.This is the pic of the lower deck of the new rake given to ER by RCF for Dhanbad - Howrah Double Decker Train (Vivian Boye)
First platforms will be reworked, and then the coaches will be touched up & coated with vinyl.
If vinyl coating is put now even that will get scraped off.

So why use tapes to cover up when we have the ever'GREEN' vinyl sticker technique!

Thanks Rage.^^ Foggin' awesome mate! These ol' trains are the best.
They were supposed to be the modern version (when they were introduced i.e.) and were introduced as a quasi-DMU for Narrow Gauge to replace the old fashioned locomotive (ZDMx) hauled NG trains.I didn't even know somethin' like this existed in this country!
