Vice Regal Dining Conservation

The vice regal dinning car built by Ajmer workshops of the BB & CIR (Bombay, Baroda and central India railway) in the year 1889 is juxtaposing the luxurious special rail carriage800px-bbci_logo used by the Viceroy of India then during his travel around the country. This wooden bodied dinning car was part of a five-car Vice regal train. The car bears a striking white enamel finish.

We are so proud to have actually worked for restoring it and our joy was multiplied when ‘Ki and Ka’ ( a recent Hindi movie) got one of its scenes shot inside the dining car!!
