richabr posted:The truck being considered for the new GP7 is probably a reuse of the current Baldwin truck which was changed to vertical drive a few models ago. Reuse of existing parts is a money saver. I too wouldn't mind a dual motor GP but I understand the price point considerations. The vertical motors are much better pullers than the horizontal cans were.

There's no "probably" about it. Dave Olson from Lionel has stated that it's the Baldwin truck.
