Very disappointing to learn that in this day and age Bachmann will not be fitting axle-bearings or tender pick-ups to Patriot 5551 "The Unknown Warrior" and Jubilee 45654 "Hood"... They will, however, continue fitting the ugly t-lock couplings. I won't be wasting my money on either model, or any such-fitted model but I was looking forward to supporting the 5551 group.
