Reminds me of an early Highway Patrol car.

This is Broderick Crawford saying keep death off the roads. Drive on the sidewalk.

Looks horrible. I only know of one person who likes it...I'm looking forward to seeing them though, over 3500hp!!!! They should sound good on heavy haul trains.

Hmm, they look awful, but it might provide some relief from the awful Yinger Mingers that have over -run our railway network!

With the GM influence it reminds me of U.S. locos on the vid ..... though why they decided to use huge lego bricks for lights is beyond me

i still say that they look like Newer Bulkier and Uglier versions of the class 58's we had.

anyway, if they are to be in Freightliner Yellow/green, then why not call them caterpillers?
