@Tom Stoltz posted:Okay, this is getting interesting… I had to look. I could only find 6 PRR heavyweights – 2 coaches both 1237. The NYC set does have 2 extra coaches 2826, 2827. Both boxes labeled ‘Extra Coach’. The other coach is 2825. So I thought, how about the Budd set. The cars are not that accessible, but the boxes are. What I have for Budd boxes is a double box (label toward the wall) and 3 coach boxes; numbers 4004, 4011, and 4013.
So how did the Budd set come? Clearly I’m very wrong about the PRR heavies. The extra coach was the same number back then? They are an older set. The NYC is the re-release we asked for a couple of months ago.

Along with the 4 car sets, the Budds have always had 3 extra coaches available from the beginning. I purchased all three extras for the sets I own: Burlington, Santa Fe, Texas Special, Union Pacific (Scale,) Atlantic Coast Line and New Haven (HiRail.) Also bought the 3 available Domes for the Burlington set.
Whether or not AM still has 3 remaining Budd numbers in current stock for a given roadname is a different matter.
