Cold so I'm playing about with the class B-1. No idea of it's heritage; kit? Heavy brass parts....added a bell and cradle that partially missing. Working on roof platforms for pantograph and for pole. Got to get a pole........ Footboards are in a baggie with a mix screws along with couplers....
No floor or mounting for trucks....but there are 4 holes in the side frame...have to build up a powered floor unit. Now I have to rummage through my stock of power trucks to find a set that actually fit on wheelbase and reside below the floor....and have acceptable (to me!) sideframes.
