The locos themselves are incredible. Super powerful, super efficient Cummins diesel under the hood with a super high-tech electronics package but I do wish they could've made the exterior look a little nicer. Looks like they are trying to make everything based on the city sprinters now.

I have to say, that GMC Motorhome has better looking aesthetics than the chargers. *!greengrin!* At least the P42s had some semblance of styling.

I'd hate to see the Chargers on the long distance trains. They just look ugly compared to the Genesis locos.
