It may be desirable for some, probably. But not for me. I'll have to go with RICKO's view - to me, it looks too much like an engine on a circus train. I think it's mostly the painted wheels that put it over the top. Just my opinion.
I prefer engines to look as prototypical as possible. Fantasy is not of interest to me, but it's more digestible if the paint scheme is at least feasible enough that it could have happened. This Hiawatha S3 doesn't meet that criterion.
