I mean they were only transferred over after the first world war iirc? but hey their currencies were pegged to the INR after independence for a while!

yes! reusing and thus preserving equipment is really cool and I love whenever organisations do that! I was at a restraunt recently which used a train coach to house a whole restaurant which was great although it kind of felt shoe horned in given they barely did anything to preserve the seating or the styling, completely restoring it into a modernist style kich thing, but hey still a really cool experience!

Really hope they can sustain this because the DTC has barely made an efforts to preserve any other parts of its history and this would be the first big step and I have been advocating about this (read: complaining to anyone who will listen) for a while now.
