Bill and Barry, thanks for the replies and the great information. I had assumed it was a little older due to some of the other things I received with it. It is a great looking set and I can't wait to get it running.

Thanks again!

Hello everyone,

I am brand new to the hobby, just bought a new N scale Spectrum set to learn with.

I inherited what I believe to be a G scale Bachmann set and I'm trying to learn more about it. I've been sitting on it for several years and assume it is at least 25 years old. The locomotive is a 4-6-0 and has Bachmann China stamped on the bottom.

I've attached a photos.

Thanks!
