The RDC, an American classic !

Can't say that about the SPV-2000.

I wonder why the SPV-2000 was such a poor update of the original RDC.

I heard the SPV-2000 propulsion system was different than the RDC and was prone to breakdowns.

Could be but if the RDC proved reliable for all those years, why fix what isn’r broken?

They weren't all that reliable. Their saving grace was that the two diesel engines were mounted on sleds that could be fairly easily pulled out to get at them. Their Achilles Heel were the transmissions.
