How can we get replacement parts or unlettered plain coaches for Christmas Train Sets?
I've bought a cpl of used sets at a garage sale, that have missing (cars) or broken parts.
I haven't been able to find the Christmas colored unlettered cars on the online store.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi. I think that Ebay would be your best bet for anything that you need that Bachmann is no longer making/selling. Most of my train stuff(like 99.5 percent of it) came from Ebay, and I've never had a problem with anything that I bought on their site . It's also a great site to find parts for kit bashing too!
Later!

Hi Starlite,
Can you send me a photo of the Unlettered Christmas Cars. I don't know of any unlettered Christmas cars, or I don't understand your message. It can be difficult to post pictures here so feel free to email me the photos via your smart phone to billsharronc@yahoo.com. After seeing what you have I will try to give you specific personal advice directly to your email address.

Thanks for your replies guys.
I keep checking eBay, cpl of the sellers are VERY proud of the parts. Was Hoping that Bachmann would have unlettered cars like they have on their online store. ( i.e.. Coach - Painted Unlettered - Olive With Gold Lining).
To reply to Loco Bill: I have a cpl of cars from the "Night before Xmas" set, a combine from "White Xmas" set, and an engine from the "North Pole Express". So unlettered in xmas colors would save me from dipping-painting and/or stripping parts.
I could use the broken cars for parts and use the unlettered ones to complete the train in time for the holidays.
Andrew, Loco Bill, thank you I appreciate your timely replies.
Take care,
Paul
Paul,
Thanks, now I understand. I can confirm Bachmann never made any unlettered Christmas Cars.
Many times you can buy a whole car for a low price and strip it for the parts you need. That is how I get most of my Bachmann parts.
Good Luck!

Hi again, Paul. I don't know if you're interested, but I just listed this White Christmas body with interior and lighting on Ebay. I bought it brand new for a project last year and removed what I needed from it (the chassis and trucks) and stored it away for a possible future project-a project that I've decided not to pursue . So let me know if you're interested.
Here is the direct link to the auction:

Thanks and good luck with your project!
