I agree. They really need to switch back to the older design. This look is awful and completely out of character with the rest of the loco.

The various analogue gauges of the control stand are integrated into composite TFT panels. This has been mentioned under point # 20 in this document.
Also check point # 39 - the PIXI display mentioned therein is explained on this page.

Medha Servodrives in Hyderabad had this product on their website. Sadly their website is not online - http://www.medhaindia.com/

The roofmounted part may be the Anti-collision device (ACD) sensor - this loco is meant to go on the NEFR route where the ACD system is active. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti_Collision_Device

Was there a camera on the LHF? The LCD panel might be there to give the LPs a better view.

THIS LOCOS SHOULD BE AT WORK BY DOING SHUNTING DUTIES AT
EVERY PLACE AS THE SHUNTING BY DIESELS TOO LEAD TO POLLUTION .
AS THE LOCO RESEMBLE WDM JUMBO , THE LOOK ITSELF IS REALLY
CREATING HUGE CONTROVERSY .

Very touching indeed. Did this sort of a thing happen when the Thull went AC??
