Bandra Station | 6” W Model

This 6”W model cast in resin is an ode to the 1869 Bandra Railway Station.

Bandra Railway Station, also known as Bandra Terminus, is a major railway station located in the western part of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It is one of the significant railway terminals in the Mumbai suburban railway network and serves as a transportation hub for both suburban and long-distance trains.

A Grade I Heritage structure, Mumbai's Bandra west railway station, one of the busiest stations on the Mumbai suburban rail network, has recently been restored. The station is a stop for Mumbai locals and outstation trains and is serviced by the Western Railway and the Harbor Line of the Central Railway intra-city trains.

In the 1800s, Bandra railway station, which was then maintained by the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway (BB & CI), used to be a cargo halt. A meat cargo train, later discontinued, was used to haul the products from the slaughterhouse situated at the Bandra-end of the Mahim Causeway in the three buildings created for the purpose by the municipal engineer Russel Aitkin. Later, as the sleepy suburb of Bandra grew, two platforms were added, and the station was named Bandora, local speak for the Persian word bandar or port/bay/harbor

In this process first a model was made of clay, by sculptors from Pune and a flexible mold is made of wax. Then resin casting is accomplished with a resin plus a nearly equal amount of a "hardener" liquid (as in many epoxy resin or polyester resin systems). The mixture is poured into the wax mold. The resin mixture gets hardened after some time and then it is removed from the mold.
