Recently after seeing this rare model posessed by SWR, thought of going for a trip. Journey was nice but the downside was very very cramped seating and a lot of noise from the engine. Though max speed was limited to 40kmph or rather an alarm used to go off, the driver did exceed it for some time. Journey took half hour and got down in the deserted station of Kolar, which I feel needs more trains passing through it and the old kolar chikballapur route opened up.
