Bachmann Branch Line

I have been feeling down this week as I have been banned from driving by my doctor after a mini stroke. So I said to hell with it, and took a walk of about a mile to my local model shop to cheer myself up. I bought 2 Bachmann china Clay Wagons (weathered) and a Toady brake van. As some of you will know, I have had a total knee replacement, so the walk back included a stop at a cafe for a coffee. While sat drinking the coffee, I had a look at my purchase. The guy that runs the cafe came over and had a look as well. We started to talk modeling (he is into military models) when he said "can you spot the difference between the two clay wagons"? I had a good look, but only spotted the difference when he said "look below the the wagon. There were no wheels on the model of one of the wagons. I went back to the shop and said to the two people in the shop "can you spot the difference . They did not see what was wrong until I told them. Just goes to prove that we should check everything, even the big firms make mistakes.
