When Bethesda went paid, I heard a story that some disgruntled volunteers separated and started their own company. I have a picture of that company and they have a Butterfly Hahn. Eventually that company went under. The property became the first BCC, and I want to say that the equipment was sold. It is highly possible that Hahn went to Kensington.
Also, if I'm not mistaking, I apologize if I am, I believe Platform 21 was originally delivered with a gasoline engine and converted to deisel. I'm not 100% on that one; however, I do know this. That picture has the straight across, flat windshield in it. That windshield was eventually modified with a "V" in the center, because the boom used to come down and crush that windshield on a regular basis.

I believe that the Kensington snorkel was delivered, it had a Hall Scott gas engine. Later, when it was repowered with diesel, a part of the frame was cut to accomodate the new engine. That was the beginning of the end for the truck as the frame was never the same.
