It appears this order to moving more faster then expected. One other thing to notice is that they are also longer, it appears these are actually DE41LFs. Their length is really noticeable while looking at the left side of the bus. Also another interesting notice is their engine sounds is a bit different then your typical Cummins ISL Engine. Also anyone noticed the gray device above the front door in this shot? Posted Image The DE41 is only available in LFR. Plus looking at the right it does not look like a 41ft. 8124 looks to be the standard 40ft size. Las Vegas CATs New Flyer hybrids are the DE41LFR. You can tell the difference between a 40ft and 41ft New Flyer. Bmore MTAs New Flyer D40LFs look longer then SEPTAs due to the Cummins ISM engine. And they are only an extra 6 or 7 inches to the length with ISM. And you can tell the difference. I do wish all New Flyer 40ft hybrids were 41ft instead of 40. Since that would make Bmore MTAs 09000s a few inches larger then the D40LFs.
