B3 trucks, Hall industries originally  --  although swaps during 
overhaul with older B3s are possible.       Apparently enough B3s were 
purchased to equip all the cars slated for conversion  --  1730, a city 
car, had the B2Bs replaced with B3s.

*Heard*  some electrical gear changed to solid state  --  don't know 
what and why  --  maybe battery chargers, etc.       As Boris will tell 
us, need the schematics to know what was changed  --  IFZ  changes took 
place.
