All:
There is one thing in large scale on the Japanese Shima Models website that has not been listed as a new relase.
For Y2300 (about $21 US) were these:

These are the little trucks from the tiny 1:20,3 Cairo and Kanawha boxcar.
However, there is no stock number, so not sure if this was something only from the dealer?
They do not show on the Bachmann order parts section either?

Any chances of seeing these?
Dear Garrett,
I'll see what I can find out.
Thanks!

Thanks Bach-Man, do let us know what you find.
Dear Garrett,
I'll be back home late Friday, so I'll try on Monday.
Thanks!

Hi Mr Bachman,
Can you let us know if and when the trucks will be listed for sale in large scale parts??
Thanks chuck
Dear Chuck,
Apparently they are not available here as yet. I'm trying to find out if/ when they will be.
Have fun!

All:
Interesting reading (and nice modelling) here:

"I just called the Bachmann parts department - (800) 356-3910, ext. 11 or 17 - and asked for the trucks (with metal wheels) from their large-scale 20-foot car series, I didn't need a part number (at least she didn't ask me for one.)"
I guess I am not the first/only one to think that the small trucks look better on the log cars than the larger ones?
No date on his website of his call tho......
