Actually a lot of the comment on UK websites has been the same - an ugly locomotive. There were some photos of it completely wrapped in tarpaulins during its sea journey and some wit noted that this was about the best it would ever look, ie it looks best when you can't actually see it.
Having said that, I have no problem with it. It certainly has character...
