Thanks for the info Hank and Ucwepn,
I guess I'll leave the nameplates on. They may be a bit nicked, but I'm sure my son will notice if they are gone.
Jdogman,
Good to know! I'm not really a collector, but I'll probably store the engines and their original truck together anyway. That must have been quite a "Pack of Track" bargain back in the day. They sure don't sell it like that anymore.
T-R-Y,
Definitely a lucky haul, but I did have to go all the way from Chicago to Minnesota to get it ;-).
Around here I've made a few resale finds, but mostly some random track and a few cars. The good stuff shows up on Craigslist, but the truely great deals are few and far between.
