Hi Loco Bill. Thank you for the additional information. It is very helpful. Is does not look as if their is a DVD or track clips in the box so I am going to see if I can order them on line from Bachmann. I am not planning to run the set only to display it so I want it to be as complete as possible. If anyone else has any more info on the set I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again. Don.

Hi: I found it. This is new to me as I just signed up yesterday. Thank you for your answer. I never would have guessed that one.

Hi Loco Bill. I di not know how to reply to your swift response to my earlier question, so I did it this way. You are an amazing wealth of knowledge. I really appreciate all of the info you gave me. I know that you said that there are no stupid questions, so here goes. In all my years of collecting I never heard of an "Annie". Could you enlighten me as to what it is. Also, I have looked at only one side of the box. The engine and tender are still taped or glued behind the original plastic. Each car is wrapped as is the power pack and controller. It says that there are additional tracks underneath or inside the Styrofoam to make up the total amount of tracks. I am afraid to turn the box over because I do not want to break the plastic seal on the engine and tender. Could the DVD and the original IB be in there? What about the track clips? Might they had been in the empty space on the front of the box, and they are missing and that is why there is an empty space. I got the original outer The shipping carton along with the set. That is how it was mailed to me. The box was sealed with two pieces of tape, both exactly the same tape and size. Once I released the tape the outer box opened up so I could "touch" the trains. Do you think it is okay to turn it over and see what is underneath? Thanks again for all your help with this cool set, and the other WP&YR trains available to me. Don.

Hi: I am an Alaska collector and just purchased on EBay the WP&YR G set from 2010. I found out that it was from 2010 from your office and then found a used catalogue from 2010 to confirm it. I have two questions. First, I was told that this set has never been opened or run. When I look at the inside Styrofoam cradle that the cars are in I found a large indentation to the left of the Lake Spirit Car and the power pack. It looks like something should have been in that space, although the carton contents seem to match up. I was wondering why such an empty space would be left that way with nothing there. Could you please check to see if in fact that was the way it was made or is there in fact something missing. Also, since it is supposed to be un opened I do not know if there is an instruction manual with the set. That being the case could I order another IB so as not to disturb the unopened set. Anything else you can tell me about the set would be helpful (like how many were made, is it rare to find in this shape). Thank you in advance for your help. By the way since I am an Alaska collector I have all versions of your McKinley Explorer sets. Thanks again. Don,
