This is utter madness. I have seen the Baaz livery just once and that just once was enough to fire up my thoughts. Shame on IR to redisgn the livery of this loco

My god, terrible livery. So sad. Why did they redisgn this majestic loco. Feel so depressed! The old livery was the best on IR. The person who designed Baaz is none other than Sr. S. Dhasrathy, Member Mechanic. He had flaggedoff the loco on the last day of his job with IR.

The colour could have been a little lighter. Otherwise it is very good. It is fine to try out new colours. Let's wait and watch.

Why unfortunately Samar? There is no compulsion to have the same colour for the locos? When the WAP7 can be given the awful Duronto livery, then why can't SGUJ try this colour?

Wow. What a different and lovely colour!! Kudos SGUJ. Hats off to you. Hope it continues with this livery.

Do EMD locos undergo POH??
This looks totally disgusting I wonder whose idea it was to rebuild this loco.I must say we cannot find such an attractive and Charming looking loco that we saw in WDP4 20012 'BAAZ'.I also do not see 'BAAZ' written anywhere on this loco.I cannot even call this loco as 'BAAZ'

This is a downright insult to the creative genius who designed the earlier blue-orange livery for the Baaz. It was truly the most loved livery amongst all diesels in India. As others have mentioned, this is as unattractive as unattractive can get!

What a shame. The long hood sides are okay, resemble some US diesel. The SHF and LHF have been ruined :( And weird - IR shed folks remove the alanting whiskers from Deemers (which looked good with them) and put them on dippys. How unbelievably unaesthetic.
