Prarie Ron who conceived the D57T, S18G,838 & 25M among others is a modern day Buster Peterson, no question. If he has a problem on a job he solves it with a new tool, not to much thinking like that around anymore and it will only become even less in time.
I have been to his workshop and what he churns out may not be pretty at times but it was never meant to be, it is turned out with a purpose in mind, exactly the same as thinking from years ago when the industry had many players.
I can't think of his name but the guy who dreamt up the haulmax is abit like that, i hear he has another truck in the pipeline also which will be interesting
