my unit - I think it's a Varney FA.
No chassis at all. The mechanism is a motor truck connected to the other truck with a plastic sleeve. Each truck has a "bolster" that is a plastic plate that is screwed to the bottom of the body shell.

The unit below is a dummy but the front truck is likely connected to the frame like the one on yours is.

When my powered F3 is in hand (should be here middle of this coming week) I'll take some close photos of how it's set up.
