Illuminated Photograph: Indian Railways WG
We are proud to introduce 'Lithomotive' - a unique and novelty collectible in the form of 'illuminated photographs!' These are excellent for desk lamps, night lamps or other decorative lighting and will bring a different feel to your railway-themed collection. We started by paying homage to our glorious steam era and produced 5 of the iconic steam locomotives.
A lithophane is a form of 3D art that is created by converting a photograph into an inverse 3d relief which creates lighted and shadowed areas by varying the thickness of the plate in different areas, which, when backlit bring the same contrast of the real photograph.
Our Lithomotive series brings you expertly crafted lithophanes of curated photographs of iconic Indian Railway locomotives. All the photographs are taken by our team during various railfanning and excursion tours and converted to inverse 3D relief plates digitally in 6X4 format and then 3D printed. The frame is also custom-designed to fit the LED backlight and contains hidden air passages to keep the interior from heating up during long hours of operation and is 3D printed as well. The product is supplied with a 3rd party 12V adapter to power the LEDs.
We've also kept the provision for the plates to be interchangeable, so you can purchase the plates separately and keep changing the photographs.
Technical Details:
- Product size (mm): 190 X 130 X 40 (without the 12V adapter)
- Material: ABS, PETG
- Orientation: Landscape
- Operating voltage: 12V DC (Adapter included)

Frequently asked questions:
What in included in the 'KIT' ?
The DIY kits have 3D printed components. Includes all detail parts and appropriate decals and jigs where applicable. Assembly and painting required.
Can I motorise the locos?
Some of the locos are designed in a way that can be made totally operable. For any particular locomotive, details are provided in the product description.
You have the flexibility to make a display model or a motorized model depending on your skills to convert them into a running model.
We suggest using the recommended motors for the optimum performance.
What sort of wheels do I get?
By default, all of the kits except some of the locomotives contain 3D printed wheels. For the locomotives that are meant to be motorised, no wheels are included in the regular kit.
For the rolling stock, 3D printed wheels are included, however, please note that the 3D printed wheels are good for display only and will not be suitable for running the models in a layout. Please use suitable plastic or metal wheelsets available to you. Wherever possible we have provided our recommendations in the product description.
