I am compiling a Collector's Guide/database of all N SCALE engines/cars ever produced in the D&H scheme, or one of their parent companies as long as the letters D&H were stenciled on the side (ex: Guilford). To do this, I am using old Walthers' catalogs, internet search engines, EBay listings, mail order companies, etc.
I have come across Four (4) different Bachmann N scale items produced. They are:
GE U36B - road number ?? - Catalog #64076
EMD GP-40 - road #1001 - catalog #??
Baldwin "sharks" - road numbers ?? - Catalog #7403
Quad Hopper - road number #12312 - catalog #73376
In addition to the missing information (bolded above), I am looking for their release dates. I know the U36B and the hopper were in the 2005 catalogs, but that doesn't tell me when they came out. I have no other information on the GP40. The Sharks were originally ER-Models units that were purchased by Bachmann when ER-Models went bankrupt.
Can anyone with old Bachmann catalogs help me out? Doesn't anyone know of any other N scale D&H Bachmann trains produced? Thanks!
