The 980 hp B-B diesels that GE built (in Spain) for Fegua I believe had axle mounted TM. As Michael mentioned above, going with bespoke units has some real risks. But I don't even know if GE or any of its affiliates still offer anything remotely close to what the D&S needs, at least not at a price they could afford. So custom may be the way. There are three locomotive builders in South Carolina, Republic and MP&ES already mentioned, and also RJ Corman. Will be interesting what D&S gets, and how good it is. Having grown up with oil fired steam, I'm kind of looking forward to seeing an oil fired 490.
