The MCG on these guys was just as reviled as Xbox is today, once.
I think it looks pretty good.

Does anyone know what Cummins plant is going into the rebuilds?

The soon-to-be-released testbed fashoned from an ex-L&N GP35 is using a QSK50. And of course the Charger was built around the QSK95. Even so the QSK60 has a good railroad track record so it should be a good performer.
