They are very tiny round parts 4 in total any idea what for? It’s the rivet counter.

I believe they are replacement roller bearing caps for the outside of the axles on the trucks. My HO SD40-3 came with those also. Really nice of Scale Trains to include those.

Yes, they are extra roller bearing caps. ScaleTrains also included them in the boxes with my Gunderson covered hoppers, as well. Must be a fairly recent thing, I don’t recall them being included with my crude oil tank cars from last year or so.

No, mine does not have them but they sent me one because one was missing.
