I just got off the phone with S@H and the 5304 service pack is indeed "no
longer available". The woman indicated that they have received quite a few
phone calls about it this morning and "were checking into it". She offered
me the 3737 pack as an alternative.
If the only way to get wheels is via the 3737 wagon plate kit, we are
probably better off buying some of the new Train offerings at $5 more
(10015, 10016, or 10017) and getting a bunch of other parts. The trade off
is a 6x24 wagon plate instead of a 6x28 wagon plate.
