There were turbocharged models as well, and also turboprop (Allison) models. Pressurized variants, as well.
One problem: Rear engine had a tendency to overheat during prolonged ground operations and might shut itself down, leading to an unaware pilot attempting a takeoff on front engine only, which doesn't work very well if not enough runway.
