Genuinely didn’t know this existed until now, great video.

[@kclassproductions]

That looks awesome! Your B2 class tram videos inspired my 4-stud wide b2 class tram! I love your work.

[@TazzieTransport]

Nice Video! I never even knew this existed lol

10:34 this censored image is clearly a metro train, so i'd guess EDi Comeng or Siemens, depending on which you haven't built

[@MaxProduction16]

Time will tell

[@Comeng17]

I can't believe they never built this simple improvement. Hopefully they do use Z3 and A-Class parts to add this upgrade to the B2s, since there are no retirement plans for them.

[@MaxProduction16]

It's unlikely we'll ever see something like this. The B Classes are meant to last until around 2030 which isn't too far off so rebuilding a third of the fleet only to retire them a few years after wouldn't be the best idea.

[@Comeng17]

@@MaxProduction16 Ok, but like that's still a few years of accessibility issues.

White 1x3x4 train windows and white 1x2x3 train windows...??? I am so happy for you, one day I will like you find a suitcase stuffed full of cash and diamonds so that I can also afford such expensive rare pieces. My entire retirement plan rests on finding a suitcase full of cash, or finding half a dozen lego train windows and moving to Monaco or Zurich.

[@MaxProduction16]

Yeah, they don't come cheap! Somehow I managed to find them for only a few dollars each, and most of the frames are very yellowed and scratched, bringing down the price. Absolutely worth it in the end though!

What year is b3 tram enter services 🤔

[@Mrmoo6000]

For some reason I get so mad when ppl say b1 class instead a class

[@MaxProduction16]

Understandable, although personally I've never heard anyone say that, and honestly I'm surprised it's not the other way around

[@literally3bagels]

can i be in ur next video pls

[@MaxProduction16]

Well unless you happen to have been in the background when I was filming it, unfortunately you cannot.
