Anyone recall MSRP from 1997 for the Two-Truck 36 Ton Shay?
Can't find a catalog.....

Does Bachmann put production date codes on their product? - No, not that I have seen.
But in the past year and a half I've been accumulating Bachmann track, rolling stock, accessories and I have noticed they do put a date code on the packaging.
Sometimes its printed (rolling stock end flaps), other times its embossed (wheels, turnout signals).
Typical is 6 digits in the YYMMDD format.
In later product it's 6 digits plus a 'K' at the beginning (maybe for Kader post acquisition).

It's interesting to buy NIB at store or online and see that "new" is actually 15 years old.

Anyone us the LGB 10560 Electric Uncoupler Track with the standard Bachmann Knuckle couplers?
