The only external variation on the 64b model is the size and # of treads per wheel.

My lone 64:

My first MIB Matchbox was a 64b, but I sold it off when I was a teen (mid 90s) and looking for money more than collections.

Hi Brad
very nice models, the blue and white 64b MG 1100. Is there any difference (wheels, interior, baseplate, body...) between the standard green models and the prepro?
