Dear Ethio,
The Golden Classic sets were produced in the early 90's for hobby shop sales. The ones I remember offhand are Milwaukee, SPC, C&S, UP, and the Fast Mail, based on a NYC train. They all used our 10 Wheeler and J&S cars, even those inspired by standard gauge trains.  All predate the "Annie".
Have fun!

Do you know where I can get instruction, description or its capabilities? I couldn’t find any information on the Web or at Bachmann.com. I'm thankful for any info you can provide.

This set came out in 1994. I got it for Christmas that year and was my first LS model trainset. So the Locomotive is way early for an ANNIE. I basically ran mine in the ground having fun with it.

10 Big Haulers and 200 feet of handlaid rail later I still got it and the cars along with a old Royal Blue set.

Do you happen to have the instruction or description for it? Like what is has and its capabilities. I couldn’t find any information on the Web or at Bachmann.com.

Hi Conradin,

You're right. It's South Pacific Coast Observation Car numbered 41 not 43. I've made the correction on the message board as well. But, I don't think the set is from 2004-05.

No Date. From what I've been reading, I think this Locomotive came out before Annie.

I bought a train set from an Estate Sale and I’m having trouble identifying it. It looks like the Anniversary Edition 4-6-0, but a bit different as far as parts. It comes in a big flat box that’s labeled Bachmann Big Hauler, Golden Classic Series, Sunset Route, South Pacific Coast and Limited Edition. It’s a 4-piece set: Locomotive (#21), Coal Tender (SPC), South Pacific Coast Observation Car (#41) and U.S. Mail Car (#17). I don’t see any catalog number anywhere on it or on the box and I don’t have the paper work for it. Since I don’t know any thing about it, I was hoping for someone to provide me with more information. Thank You
