I think there was 4 DDs on the 48, Gemini and rest Alx400s

Just like it should be :). The 48 has been crying out for deckers for years, used to be fully ALX back when it operated via Blue Gates

The 82 and the 87 are screwed today, don't know why.

The branding on 4706 and 4708 is partially missing.

On B6s it is possible for the driver to select just 1st & 2nd gears. Not good driving though if doing over 25mph

Is it just B6s in NX's fleet now that have the force 1st/2nd gears?
