That's just the side frames.... not as simple as the seller implies!
Look at Little Engines catalog, pg 70.

Yep. Chassis is running on air and all the boiler plates are cut and prepped for welding. Firebox is welded and is waiting for the mud ring pieces to be welded. Got my tender trucks from Dave several years ago way before I was ready for them. Had the money and I knew I would need them, so I bought them. The tender trucks have been machined and I have the journal boxes machined as well as the wheel & axle sets. Here is a short video of the first time I put air to the chassis.

Joe, before you sell them or ship them, would you take some pictures of one of those trucks. I have a pair to build and pictures would help a lot.
