Part of the issue is the paint scheme on the locomotive. If you look at my posted photos of the locomotive you will note that there is no blue stripe on the lower part of the locomotive. If you look at the PR photos from the factory you will see the locomotive with a blue roof sweeping down to a blue stripe that matches the blue stripe on the cars. Those photos blend the locomotive better with the cars. But, I still agree with those who don't care for the overall design. I also question the openness of the passenger car trucks. Doesn't that cause drag?
