You mean like these?

Of course these are a real vehicle in their own right - they are of course ACCOs and were developed to replace the CMP - the prototype even used a CMP cab.

Point is, they are often called Blitzes here too, even advertised as ACCO Blitzes.

If there were other fakes, though I'd be up in arms - and how did Bart Vanderveen feel? His opinions were well put in W&T editorials.
