When I was a kid in the 70s, my family used to own an N-scale Bachmann train set that consisted of a red caboose,a coal carrying Gondola, a tank car (I believe it had 3 fillers), and a Boxcar, pulled by a small steam locomotive without a tender. My guess is that the locomotive was an 0-4-0 switcher- I can't remember for sure.
I remember that the train set came in a blue plastic tray, with a clear plastic lid, and that the transformer was of the 6600 type (Gold colored metal transformer). The blue plastic tray with clear lid was then slide into a color-printed cardboard sleeve depicting a steam train, Bachmann logo, etc. My guess is that the kit was from the early 1970's.
Anyone got any info on this kit? Anyone know the kit #, the name of the railroad (or perhaps a few different railroads were available?) Any info would be appreciated. Anyone got one of these kits collecting dust that they'd like to sell?
