I think I have an culvert car error

I'll check mine tonight.  I normally do a pretty thorough look over, but there is a slim chance I could miss this if all of them are like that.

The Legacy Crane Cars (not the gantry) for I think SP are named for some guy named Bucyrus Eric on the booms.  (pretty sure that is across the whole lot - joining Huck Fin, Nortern, Merrmac, etc)

here is a pic

On an old piece it's a "variation" (maybe valuable); on a new one it tends to be an "error", which takes all the fun out of it.

Of course, in real life, the Mexican National had a bunch of 4-8-4's, which they called  a "Niagra" - they did not spell it "Niagara".

Perhaps "Bucyru" is correct - are the instructions in Spanish? 

No there are no instructions, it's basically a gondola. The reverse side is spelled completely correct

Sorry for delay in response.  I checked mine and it it fine on both sides.  There is also a hyphen after the S.

You have what I would consider a factory error.  (open to debate, depending on if a whole bunch ended up like this or just this one.  "Errors vs. Variations") 

I remember years ago in the Yellow hall seeing someone trying to sell a 1997 vintage NYC PA-1 that was missing the entire lightning stripe on one side.  I seem to recall he had it marked as some very high markup, maybe $1k or more. (for what at the time was probably a $200-$300 engine.)  I have no idea if it was ever sold or for how much if so.
