I just noticed a plastic bag with 3 sets of trucks and what looks like Tender wheel sets and leading truck for the engine. Bachmann 80128 -4-4-0 anybody know why these were packed with engine. Thanks Bill

If not by Bachmann, ask the supplier. Probably by accident. Sounds like no big deal. I have bought the 4-4-0 in the past. Possibly different style trucks. I think I saw a photo of that kit on eBay.

I looked on-line and found others with the bag of trucks.

Feel like a Mogul.

This is from a MRR review when these first came out back in 2007:

QuoteRoadname-specific details.

Our sample came decorated and detailed as Maine Central no. 84. The Bachmann engine has a tapered boiler and dome and stack arrangements similar to modernized 4-4-0s found on the MEC as well as other roads. The model has roadname-specific details, such as the cab type (wood or steel) and the headlight type (with or without visor), and bell, headlight, and classification light arrangements.

Our MEC sample has a factory-installed solid pilot and coal bunker. Two different types of user-installed spoked pilots as well as a footboard pilot and wood and oil bunkers are included.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

I was wishing I hadn't gone searching. I'm kind of liking that Great Northern one. Hmmm......
