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.

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.
