I dont think the shape and the livery matters... The Most important is the equipment used in this loco?? Remember the Typical BHEL power...

WAP-4 has 11 exhaust windows, whereas this beast has 12.

BHEL will produce 50 of these beasts initially. My hunch is that this livery is to differentiate it from the CLW built shells. The wheel clearance and the subtle display of wheels almost makes it look like a WAP5 to me

seems better finished than CLW product!

good initiative to have aircon cabs. but loco seems to have more ground clearance and it spoils the look of a WAP4 shell. livery is refreshing but nothing as good as the old WAG7 shell.

The shell is different from WAP 4. But I like this livery and the shape

I think this livery looks good.

to me, it looks like a colorful toy..

Even if the upper part of the WAG7 would have been painted white, it would have still looked better.

For me, the tiger face livery is not suiting for the WAP-4 shell!
