3737 is 14.99 I only have the prices that include shipping and handling
2 packs of wheelsets 2 x 3.50
1 pack bogie plates 2.50
1 pack buffers and magnets 3.50
1 wagon plate 3.00
total 16.00
So, the price is about the same, it is just a lot less convenient.
Has anyone tried to order the old service packs? Are all the service packs
officially discontinued?
