Beautifully designed wagon. Runs smoothly. Please add NEM pockets
Thanks Arunit, We will Look at that as an option in future.
It is rare to see such 1st class printing and assembling and painting.
I wish there could be more rtr narrowgauge locos, i am a most satisfied collector of ng. And motorised chassis slips in like marvel.
Please go on with ng of India.
Many thanks Claude! Looking forward to seeing a running video of this.
Amazing kit yet another from pmw....just that I think they have to up the decals....rest is it builds like a dream....
Nother great build! Glad to see you are having fun with our kits.
I just received my order overseas. The order process was smooth and packaging realtime trackability of the package was excellent. What was inside the package was even more exciting. I am really impressed by the overall quality of the products. Details are excellent on each and every piece. I miss Indian rail journey being away from homeland and with fast changing look of the Indian Railways, replicas of older coaches and locos will help relive and cherish those memories. Whereas the replicas of modern technologies will nourish the excitement. Thanks and Congrats to Precision Model Works for this initiative and great start. Warm Regards. Manoj
No one till now comes close to craftsmanship that PMW team offers. Keep doing great. We need Vande Bharat and other new launches please, Thanks
Thank you Ashutosh for your continuous support and patronage. We are really glad that you are enjoying the models.
International standard, look no further! Indian Railways by PMW is best!
Very happy to buy from PMW. Model is very very detailed and immaculate. PMW has done amazing job on scaling and detailing. Most authentic representation of Indian Railways in best quality.
I'm not on social media but I just managed to see the meticulous process being followed to create such a masterpiece on one of your instagram posts. Splendid work; thank you to the entire PMW team for putting together such a stellar product. The BEML coach in yesteryear colors was amazing and just what I wanted to own. Thank you once again!
Have seen yr products as advertised n look impressive but unfortunately.my model locos r Marklin HO n run on AC power.
Dear sir,
Thank you for your feedback. We are looking into opportunities to make 3-rail AC locomotives, however, it is a completely new development so it will take some time for us to be able to offer 3-rail AC options. As we grow, we will definitely keep in mind to produce 3-rail AC versions of our locomotives.
Kind regards,
PMW Team
Peco Tracks are really a great option for ho scale track buyers as they are giving a great look to my models.
Nice replica, accurate industry standard work with accurate paint scheme, for Indian Railways. Would like to see more rolling stocks, passenger and goods and more diesel models. Thanks.
These we very good and great detail. PMW were brilliant to deal with and very helpful and I had very prompt delivery.
Thank you so much Trevor! I am glad that we are able to get these to you on time. Please share the final results when you paint them. Cheers! Kaustav
very helpful and the figures had great detail
Received my pre-order of this wonderful locomotive a couple days ago. Compared to the other locos, this girl is both a beauty and a beast. The team have outdone themselves with this creation. Although short-lived, her legacy will continue to run thanks to the community :)
Thank you Vishal! We are glad that you are enjoying this one of a kind legacy of the Indian Railways in miniature. With all the focus on electrification of the Indian Railways, one wonders, should we not have tried to save at least these unique electric giants?
RED COCH KE SATH AUR WAP 7 BHI
Beautiful looking amazing work
Many thanks, Anuj! Glad that you are enjoying the locomotive.
Undoubtedly PMW stands for precision in all respects !!
Many thanks for you continued support, Ranjit!
Feedback/Observation:
1) Bogie attachment with RTR body is poor quality with all RTR
It's just plastic riveted. With two RTRs, two Bogies came off after a few operations.
It should have metal/steel (Nut Flat Head Threaded) rivet so the whole bogie assembly can be attached with a small screw and so replacement can also be easy when needed.
2) Wheels are not running/rolling smoothly with all RTR, and mainly with BOBYN
I tested with downhill/decline railroad and it does not auto roll to downward (elevation from 0 - 1" within 24").
3) The wheels falling out of the side frame (not often) but seeing poor quality of axle connected to side frame- BRN/BRNA
4) Wagons to derail: BOBYN, BVZI ,
Kadee couplers seems to be good but its attachment with RTR body creates obstacle, limits the bogie/truck's circular movement on curved tracks and they cause the wagons to derail when travelling around a curve (22", 18" radius) railroad at even low speed.
Have bogie/truck and Kadee coupler position in such a way that they should not create any obstacle to bogie/truck circular movements that can cause displacement (up/down,left,right) of bogie.
5) How one can replace Kadee couplers? look like it is permanently fixed/attached/glued.
6) Seeing all RTR light weight, it advisable to have some weight added so stays on the tracks
7) As per the product images on website, wheel's rim are not painted with white color - FYI

Thank you for your valuable feedback. Many of these issues were identified, some are already corrected and some we are working on. Since we are using 3D printing as our main fabrication method, a few things are still in experimentational stage. One of the issues with 3D printing is that it doesn't take screws kindly like in case of an injection moulded part and there are chances of screws 'cracking' a 3D printed housing. The team is working on finding alternate solutions for the bogie attachments and you will see upgrades in our next release. Detailed responses to your observations are in-line.
Thank you again for all your support.
The locomotive is a real delight. It is well built, and the finish and paintwork is very superior. It looks and feels wonderful, and I applaud Kaustav and his team for this wonderful effort. Incidentally, I have a special connect with this livery (WAG-9 #31086), being it's designer.
Many thanks Samit, it was a privilege to make this livery for the person who created it. We are glad that we could meet your expectations.
I bought these models with minimal expectations about quality and precision. The wheels fall out of the bogies. Couplers are not fluid - they cause the wagons to derail. 2 WAP7 locos were purchased. There is no running number one of the locos purchased. Overall an avoidable experience. I own a sizeable number of HO scale trains (100+) and have the requisite background to make a comprehensive assessment. I buy old items on eBay and restore them. These models just add an Indian presence on my layout and collection......
We're sorry to hear about your poor experience. We use Kadee couplers and they are installed in the Kadee provided draft gearboxes and we have had no complains about their working until now. We would happily take a look at the issue if you please provide us with more details of what is wrong - you can write to us at info@precisionmodelworks.co.in. We do provide limited warranty for our products against manufacturing defects as long as you can return the product without any damage to us in its original packaging.
The WAP7 in a electric train pack is a 'generic' model - it was clearly mentioned in the product description that there will be no shed name and running number for this model, I believe in this case it is a misaligned expectation.
It's good and detailed.
This is some really neat and detailed model of the IR platforms, i am going to enjoy assembling and detailing them for my upcoming layout.
Product is excellent.Fine details.Received product with durable shipping not any shipping damage because package was double covered and great.
when it will be in stock again ?
We are working on the next production plan and will start taking orders in April/May 2024. Thank you for your interest in our product. Cheers!
Though I was aware, after receiving the package, I was disappointed that the base material dnd the roof material is not included (I KNEW THIS BEFOREHAND)
Also the texture material should be supplied. Many people do not have printers at home and then have to run around..
At 8K rupees, this is way too expensive.
I must say that the packaging is very well and professionally done.
Hi Ravi, thank you for your feedback and we will definitely look into the way to make this kit better. Just one small correction - the kit is actually 7000 rupees and not 8000.
The reason for not including the textures is because we want the modeler to explore the possibilities of creating authentic Indian scenes and not limited by one choice or even our choice. Moreover, different modelers have different modeling needs and available space, including the textures will almost always not match that requirements. However, we will look into options to balance both the needs and see how we can make the experience better.
