I received some trains from my great grandfather in the late 80's or early 90's before he passed away some of his train set. It was boxed up until recently since I had no place to start work on it. My great grandfather had a huge train lay out with at least some of my pieces being from Bachmann. Surprisingly everything still works great especially the control and the engine. The engine is a Santa FE 307 engine. Compared to one that I recently acquired at a local train show, mine is the exact same engine except that instead of being red and grey it is red and a shiny metallic silver. Granted it still works, but I am wondering how old it is out of curiosity sake. My grandfather was born in the 20's, and like I said it was my great grandfather's set so that might help?

Also, if there is anyone here on the central coast of California, I would also like help in setting up my train set around my ceiling atrium area which has a ledge and nice light system.
