Bachmann Union Pacific #25 Steam Locomotive

[pemcedarhill]

I have a Bachmann Union Pacific #25 Steam locomotive and tender. Can anyone tell me what years that engine was in use...or a rough time frame?  Which Bachmann cars (box, gondola, etc.) -- represent those years?

Dear Pem,
USRA locos were in use from WWI through the 50s. To see which cars are appropriate will require research into not only car type, but paint scheme as well.
There are several companies publishing all color books, including TLC, which will be very helpful in your quest.
Have fun!
