keep in mind that some of powers to be, are severely turned off on DMU's .
they worked with not only RDC/SPV but Joe Guiletti got stuck with Colorado DMU in Florida and it was once again a disaster.
European DMU's despite their looks are under powered, and for full time HVAC would need at least 2 engines per car.
imagine a 4 car set on spingfield line and maintaining 8 engines , mounted at track level and subject to damage to every dear turd and whatever the American juvenile can place on the rails . also CDOT is currently overhauling the P40's making them OK for next 15 years or more
