Shiny new wheels - that won't last! Brightly striped pilots sure stand out.

Do these have GE or EMD prime movers?
|
Looking at the Locomotive trucks they look like EMD, PROGRESS RAIL EMD's SD70 loco trucks. Yes, inquiring minds would like to know who built these and where the components came from to produce theseLocomotives. And Thank You for posting Gaston..

The prime mover its a MTU V16 ,2900 hp

1) Oscar, be patient, the ones coming next are even uglier!
2) FSWood: surely!
3) Showalterbj: MTU 16V4000R43 diesel engine (MTU -> Daimler AG - Rolls Royce)
4) Tom Starr; I think they were all made in China. They tend to make "imitations".
I really appreciate your comments! Thank you guys!

From what I can tell, CRRC Qishuyan is a manufacturer of locomotives in Changzhou, China. The engine is probably made by MTU; whether in Germany or in their plant in Suzhou, China (or elsewhere), I have no idea.

Nice pic. Thanks for posting Gastón.
This loc has several german components, including the MTU prime mover.

Is Argentinian trains switching to janney coupler?

Only in freight trains. Passengers new trains have chains coupler with bumpers and others with Scharfenberg coupler (suburban service Ferrocarril San Martín). A hug from Argentina.
