Actually in additon to the larger K-40's Atlanta operates, they also
operate 4 of the smaller K-15 models as Rapid Intervention Vehicles.

Quite some time ago I built a test MOC, more of a mock up, using the
black sloped train window with little success. I never really did any

elevated stream capabilities, but no piercing nozzles to actually
pierce the skin of an aircraft to deliver firefighting agents.
