Let's look at the bright side. 
Brand new, 3 ft. gauge motive power was ordered, manufactured, and delivered in the year 2020.
The GE shovel nose diesels on the White Pass which are now an iconic symbol of the railroad were probably viewed with disdain as well when they arrived.
Maybe they'll look better when they get their snow plows. I will admit, the 3001 unit looks better in its traditional green and yellow IMHO.
