Railpower future locomotive

[U-Haul]

If a railroad supllied the frame, trucks, etc. would Railpower build one of its locomotives on a SD40-2 frame? Is the price of their locomotive expected to go down as more are built?

While from a railfanning perspective, i cant stand these goats, the engineering, economic and environmental benifits of these things is fantastic!
