#vandebharatexpress , Indigenously designed & built by ICF, is certainly something that India shd be proud of. Covered interesting new features at the end of this thread. 1st some important shortfalls as feedback to @proicfindrlys n @RailMinIndia to improve @AshwiniVaishnaw 1/9
Observations abt 1 month old Coach C6 of @VandeBharatExp (BLR to MAS), limited to area around toilets. One can assume that such flaws can be found in other coaches too:
- Cracked washbasin & water spillage in WC toilet
- Lock of Indian closet refitted several times & broken 2/9 ImageImage
The panel enclosing door-closure drive & side panels near toilet are made by manually cutting large fiber sheet.
- Fitment ununiform, gaps seen
- Side panels have left scratches on this door while opening.
- Missing Screws.
- Holes to read meter are cut crudely, no tool used 3/9 ImageImage
Improperly fit covers for equipment bays & crude-cut holes. They expose lack of
- standard measures & use of templates
- supervision & post fitting quality inspection
Possible wastage of material & rework in immediate future #ICF 4/9
#VandeBharat Image
Polished steel sheet is used as skirting around the wall panel. They are fused to the panel improperly using glue - a poor choice. Gaps seen; Glue spillage; Dirty and doesn't fit the high standards of #vandebharatexpress @proicfindrlys #ICF 5/9 ImageImage
The custom made enclosure for automatic door-closure drive (main door) is fixed with piano hinges. Hinges bent and not fixed properly. Possibly will require rework very soon
