UPY was more of a proof of concept locomotive though, not a production model. So that's not entirely fair.

Most sales are for 3 engine gensets right? So maybe they determined there's a market for an endcab model with 2 gensets that was bigger than the current model. I know there are single genset switchers being made as end cabs as well in small quantities.

UPY 2005 sorta looks like Alco's C-415.

Could have depended on what the Cores where. Hey when you have SW for 233c23ores they will look Differant than when you have say a GP20 for the core.

Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.
