The lighting in the photos of that 2nd listing is so poor as to make it nigh on impossible for me to see what's under that B unit.

Trainz does no one any favors in their presentation or knowledge of what they think they are selling.
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

Is that better? A unit has axle gears...only. B unit should be easier to identify.

Looks like the same gearboxes, albeit painted black, with lube ports, as in the KTM/USH unit:

Should have read Kleinschmidt. KES is Stu E. Kleinschmidt backwards. and now you know the rest of the story.
