Narrative:
During taxi into parking, was marshalled into ground equipment. #4 engine (shut down) struck a baggage cart. A wing walker for each wing was present along with the marshaller. A 4TH person (unknown) gave the emergency stop signal which the first officer saw and immediately applied the brakes, however, the aircraft had already struck the bag cart. Damage was sufficient enough to require repair before aircraft could be dispatched for flight.
