As I recall, the Bachmann E60CP uses a drive truck that has an incorrect GE-style truck.
Walthers used to sell a model by a company called American GK of the E60 that was powered by an Athearn-based drive.
You could probably make something similar using an Athearn six-axle GE diesel chassis and drive, which would be a vast improvement over the Bachmann power truck.

I would get an Atlas C30-7 or U33/36C from Trainworld or other low cost out let, and use its' whole chassis.
