Hi!
About 20 years ago I went to STIB Bruxelles, and purchased a fair quantity of equipment in connection with the restoration of Falkirk Car 14. This included item such as controllers, breakers, a motor-compressor and other bits. I found the people at STIB to be helpful and friendly in the extreme. Subsequently thair Car 9062 was brought to Scotland and still runs at the Summerlee Heritage Museum, Coatbridge. Summerlee have a spare truck for the car, also obtained from STIB.
Don't waste any time enquiring about the PCC trucks, these people will help you all the way.
