This livery is gonna rock, but I think paint job is not up to the mark compared to other AJJ wappies. It can be much much better.

This is a great livery. At least much better from the standard red and yellow. will make this beast more photogenic.

The WAG-5/7 type MU cables destroy the aero-dynamic shape of the P-1/4 Series nose, but for the push pull operation, they are necessary. Could not have they have done the same recessed type of MU arrangement of the earlier P-3's?

What a stunning livery!

They've gone about painting the Compartment Oval windows also alternatively!
Is this the only WAP1 to get this Livery?

Looks so much like the WAP-3 locomotive but in a different colour. (http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Locos/Electric/wap1_3_6/WAP3_22005KanpurCentral28-2-92.jpg.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1)

A wild guess - this livery looks quite similar to that of the coaches of Garib Rath.
Perhaps the South Railway is thinking of to deploy this loco to GR.
