I use to call these locos as "Ambassador" in my childhood.
Thanks Dr. Yande and ashish for uploading.
These locos have very sweet memories etched with me.

Great. No loco comes even close to WCM in looks. Massive Beast...

Interesting point about visibility being an issue with loco design such as this.

Even I've always wondered how would the loco pilots manage to have a clear view ahead, with such a small inconvenient windshield and with a grill obstructing vision. I bet, it would be a challenge even now for loco pilots esp. while the locos run LHF. How do they confidently run the locos?

I particularly pity the LPs of WDP/G-4 especially when running LHF.
