The undecs come with all the options while the painted ones comes with specific details. that way when a modeler buys an undec he has the options to customize the locomotive to his or her tastes. I don't think you can buy the spare stacks a friend had his to break and it took him forever to get a replacement from Bachmann on his 36 tonner.

Thanks guys, I will look around, I have ordered from Saint Aubins before and had some trouble out of them 3 cars I ordered never arrived and they were no help in tracking down what happened to my 3 bachmann hoppers. I love dealing with train world great bunch to deal with no matter what scale you order. And they have never cheated me on a order.

Thanks

Hi Nathan,

Wish I knew what a walk in Hobbyshop was that carried LS trains, The closest one I have is a Hobbytown and most of their stuff is HO or retail for example the ICRR HO heavy mountain is on sell there $259.95 not counting tax and the only other store is a lousy Hobby Lobby with almost no model trains except two Bachmann big hauler christmas sets BHAH! Closest real hobbyshop is New Orleans or Memphis both over 4 hours away.
