These coaches incorporated the improved design of bogies for better
Initially, the train was introduced with two rakes of seven coaches each one of which was painted in silver with scarlet mouldings and the other with royal blue with gold lines.The distinctive colour scheme of cream and oxford blue with red band above the window level has been recently adopted as the colour scheme for this train. This was later re-designated as second class from April 1974 onwards. The public of both the cities is happy with the impeccable record of "right time start" and "arrival" of Deccan Queen.
These coaches incorporated the improved design of bogies for better riding comfort and also improvements in the interior furnishings and fittings.The coaches of the original China wheel unit bearings Manufacturers rakes were replaced in 1966 by anti-telescopic steel bodied integral coaches built by Integral Coach Factory, Perambur.* The 5 first class chair car in the old rake have been replaced by 5 AC chair cars providing an additional seating capacity of 65 in a dust-free environment. First class was abolished on January 1, 1949 and second class was redesigned as first class, which continued up to June 1955 when third class was introduced on this train for the first time. The underframes of the coaches of the original rakes were built in England while the coach bodies were built in the Matunga Workshop of the GIP Railway.This was the first deluxe train introduced to serve two important cities of the region and was aptly named after Pune.This was the first deluxe train introduced on the railway to serve two important cities of the region and was aptly named after Pune, which is also known as ''Queen of Deccan'' (Dakkhan ki Rani). (Photo: ANI) Pune: The introduction of 'Deccan Queen' between the two cities of Pune and Mumbai on June 1, 1930, was a major landmark in the history of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, the forerunner of the Central Railway. Deccan Queen chugs along the Monkey Hill station between Mumbai and Pune.From its inception, apart from providing high standards of comfort to the passengers, the train has witnessed various improvement such as introduction, for the first time in India, of coaches with roller bearings, replacement of end on generation coaches with self-generating coaches with 110 volts system and introduction of first and second class chair cars providing increased accommodation to passengers.The Deccan Queen, initially, had only first class and second class accommodation. Also, the 9-second class chair cars provide an additional seating capacity of 120 seats compared to the old coaches.With the ever-growing aspirations of the travelling public for better amenities, improved standards of comfort and better quality of service, it was considered necessary to give a complete facelift to the Deccan Queen.The rake was changed in 1995 with the following special features:* All newly manufactured or about a year old, air brake coaches.The number of coaches in the rake was also increased to 12 from the original 7 coaches providing additional accommodation. The dining car is also tastefully furnished with cushioned chairs and carpet. Over the last 89 years of its colourful history, the train has grown from a mere medium of transportation between two cities into an institution binding generation of intensely loyal passengers.Sunil Udasi, Chief Public Relations Officer, Central Railway said that the history of Deccan Queen (Dakkhan ki Rani) is literally a tale of two cities. Over the year the number of coaches in the train has been increased to the present level of 17 coaches. an increase of 15 per cent.At Present Deccan Queen (12123/12124) runs with 17 coaches including four AC chair car, one Buffet Car, 10-second class chair car and two-second class-cum- brake vans.e.* The dining car offers table service for 32 passengers and has modern pantry facilities such as microwave oven, deep freezer and toaster.

It brings big cost reductions on parts manufacturing

Windowless, weighing in at just 21 kilos (46 pounds) and less than four metres (13 feet) long, the drone Thor wheel bearing repair kit — short for “Test of High-tech Objectives in Reality” — resembles a large, white model airplane.‘Radical innovations’The new 3D printers can make pieces up to 40 centimetres (15 inches) long and is of most use in particularly complex designs.

As a result of this, the Ariane 6 may have half the price tag of its predecessor Ariane 5.“This is a test of what’s possible with 3D printing technology,” said Detlev Konigorski, who was in charge of developing Thor for Airbus, speaking at the International Aerospace Exhibition and Air Show at Berlin’s southern Schoenefeld airport.

Following the crisis in SP, the fight is now between her and the BJP. The cartridge of pellet guns — small iron ball bearings which burst when fired with high velocity, piercing human body at a dozen spots — resulted in more than 90 deaths and injuries, including blinding at least 1,000 young men and women.
