TE 56 6A - MagnumMacKivler/RLCPT2 GitHub Wiki
A potential rebuild of the RSD-4 or RSD-5 that would have been done by Morrison Knudsen in the mid-70s, the TE 56-6As would have featured brand new 251 engines and a short hood forward, low nose configuration. None were actually built; however, if asked, MK would most likely have done it.
