The DMRC should be thankful for this enthusiasm and should now ensure that it does not ebb down. This can be done by ensuring that a sufficient supply of these models coaches and trains are made available on all cash counters of DMRC stations.
COMMUTERS AND aficionados alike have responded with a lot of enthusiasm, after the Metro train scale models were launched by the DMRC as souvenirs for sale. In fact, the response was so enthusiastic that, the entire stock of these model train pieces was sold out, within mere minutes of the start of the sale.
The DMRC should be thankful for this enthusiasm and should now ensure that it does not ebb down. This can be done by ensuring that a sufficient supply of these models coaches and trains are made available on all cash counters of DMRC stations, rather than only at the DMRC museum at the Patel Chowk metro station.
Special pieces should also be made available, which are in a metal varient. These would bring in more revenue for the organisation, as such pieces would be more costly. These would also enrich collections of connoisseurs.
Other transport services in the country, like Air India and Indian Railways can also benefit by emulating this example. Their model pieces would be popular with both children and connoisseurs, apart from making brands more friendly and accessible. The two transporters can launch different models of aircrafts and railway coaches respectively, through airports, railway stations, booking counters and ticket agents.
Special metallic pieces can also be made, apart from including pieces like tracks, railway stations, platforms, bridges etc.
