Thanks Chris! I really wasn't sold on the KME design until I worked my own out for smaller wheel trucks. The red spacer between the two grill pieces is what I feel sells the design.

Paul those are awesome looking new engines. I like the look of the front of the KME. Sort of making me consider replacing a couple of Ticlaw's aging engines with new KME's.

Thanks James! I'm a sucker for trucks with high side compartments, I really feel like it gives them a "work horse" look. I know recently many manufactures have gotten away from this look and it's more about how much stuff you can put on/in the truck instead of accessibility of equipment.

Paul, I love the bodies on the new KMEs. They look more... severe than a standard roll-up-door body. They also look like they're on a short wheelbase, I like it. Hope you get some good use out of the twins!

Awesome work Paul! Can't wait to see it at a job!

Nice job Paul! I always love to see a pair of NBFR rigs delivered together!
