Thanks Terry, definitely not something he played with as a kid. He might have bought it to entertain the grand kids.  Looking forward to using it during the holidays.

Yes, Terry that is the set I have.  I will have to look into picking up the ez track.  I assume I can find it at most hobby stores that have trains.  Does anyone know what time period this set was produced?  Thanks everyone for your help.

Any information I can find out would be good.  The set belonged to my dad that recently passed away, when I was going through his house, I found this set under one of the beds.  I don't know if this might be a train he played with as a kid, or something he purchased when he was older.  I plan on keeping the set and maybe using it at christmas around the tree.

I have a Bachmann 5 Golden Rail Freight set in HO scale and am trying to find out any information I can about it.  It has a gear driven locomotive with operating headlight and 4 cars, also a blinking light trestle bridge.  I tried doing a search on the internet, but I am not finding this specific set, any information on the set would be appreciated.
