Original Bachmann Shay Refurb

Hi-
When Bachmann repairs an original 2truck Shay (doing so recently) do they automatically replace the trucks with the revised diecast ones?  All I can find out is that the loco would not run, hence the return to Bachmann.  The trucks have 6 screws on the bottom plates from what I see.
Thanks for your input on this.

Hi Mr Bachmann-

Not sure why someone at Bachmann hasn't answered my inquiry?

Dear Gandy,
No, they are replaced with new plastic trucks. You can, however, arrange for the metal trucks at extra cost.
Contact service for details.
Have fun!
