Title: vintage? HO iron mike set
Post by: jeromeleo on July 31, 2007, 07:21:43 AM
I just received a Bachmann HO set from my uncle.  It was purchased  at least 20 years ago.... maybe more?

It is a Bachmann "Iron Mike Set" with a smoking engine, a tender, and 5 additional cars.
The Steam engine is an "AT & SF," the tender is 2126.  The trellis is lighted.
The cars are assorted.  There is a power pack and an oval track set.
The item number on the original box  is 127.

This is all packaged; each item  is in original  packs.  It seems to me that the entire box has yet to even be opened.

I am trying to find the value of this .  Can anyone help me? There is nothing like it on ebay. Other sights don't show it at all.

The title on the box is BACHMANN "5" HO -Iron Mike.

If anyone can enlighten me, I would be grateful.

Thanks.

I'm afraid a Bachmann train set from the 1960s is essentially valueless to a model railroader.  Check e-Bay for what similar items go for.
Sorry.

Oftentimes the value is exactly what someone will pay for it.  It's like selling a stack of old magazines.
