I happened to visit Star Hobby today to get some styrene and glue. I noted they had a lot (more than 12) of unboxed but new Bachmann passenger coaches for $40, with North Pole, Southern, ET&WNC, Tweetsie (different from the ET&WNC!) and maybe other road names I didn’t notice. All have metal wheels but I didn’t see any wheel pickups, so I suspect they are the earlier type. The owner’s son indicated they came from sets that had problems with the loco.
They don’t list specials on the website (https://www.shopstarhobby.com/) so you will have to call if you are interested.
