Well, I've been looking for the Faller B-215 for some time and I came across this one and decided to "pull the trigger" and join the owners club.
It's not perfect but for $21 including shipping I thought it was a very good price on this hard to find item. I was lucky to find it as the words "Faller and "B-215" were no where to be found in the listing. This looks to me to maybe be one of the kits that was originally factory assembled. As you can see from the listing the lower part of the stair railing is missing as well as the sign. These were the only two things I noticed so far. I give it a better going over once it arrives. I cautioned the seller to "pack it carefully" and I hope they heed my request.

I've already emailed Marco our resident expert on all things Faller it the hopes he can offer some help.

Well...that remains to be seen. I report back once I receive it then I'll know for sure how well I did.

Since my original post I've been wondering if I can get replacement parts from Faller for this since they re-issued this kit back in 2006. I guess I'd need a copy of the instructions from the 2006 version to get the part numbers for the railings and signs. Any help from any forum members on obtaining a copy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Alan,

I was able to locate it here: http://www.faller.de/xs_...tungen/141072_anl_01.pdf

I did a search on the Faller site using the item number and then when that came up there was a link at the bottom to a PDF file for the instructions.

Hope this helps!

Well... I contacted Faller in the hope that they would have the the railing parts that I need for the stairs in stock. Unfortunatly, they said that all the parts for the re-issued item #141092 were depleted. Oh well it was worth a try. I also sent a PM to our resident Faller expert Marco but I didn't get a reply. I hope he's OK.

If any other members know of another kit with similar parts or have any ideas how I could replicate/replace the railing please let me know.

Thanks!

Chuck

Hi Marco, no problem about replying to my PM's, I understand.

As to finding the B214/215's at swat meets etc. I't s rather more difficult in the States as opposed to Europe where I'm sure they're much more common. I have been looking on Ebay but all the ones I've seen so far are either too expensive to "Part out" or the railing is broken like mine. I've also noticed that the railings as well as some of the other kit parts come in more that one color with compounds the problem. Oh well I just have to keep 'beating those bushes" in the hopes of finding one.
