i've found the 97x19 [x=1,2,3,4] numbers on ebay and at a number of online stores (both active and historical). i have concluded that these are not prototypes: there are/were enough around that it must be that bachmann [at the very least] changed numbering systems. i'm praying they didn't do something dreadful like change their implementation scale. since i first posted i took a chance and now have a 97219 (lake tutshi) 'big haulers' car coming to go with the 8939x stock. 97219 matches the description for #89391 which nobody seems to have -- i'll see if it turns out to be the same as 89395 (lake tagish) which apparently has no corresponding 97x19 model. as for the other older wp&y stuff, the old bachmann numbers i've found have a pattern which looks like xxx19 is wp&y, 97xxx is passenger/mail and 93xxx is freight, caboose, etc. alas, no web-memory that goes back that far and no reply from the nice lady at bachmann..... thanks all! hwn
