Don, I don't know the exact age but I would judge it closer to 30 years old if I had to guess. I have the original instruction manual which says HO scale EMD F9 and EMD GP-40 Diesel set and it is indeed a Bachmann train.  As far as the condition goes it's is practically mint aside from a bit of dust. Honestly I have had this train with intentions to build a scale for this long and have not done so yet and regretfully have neither the space or time at this point. I thought this might be a train of some value to the right person and hoped to gain some expert advice.

Well it's probably more like 30 years old going by the age the guy was when he gave it to me. The original instruction book that came with it says EMD F9 Diesel set and EMD GP-40 Diesel set. The bottom says Bachmann Hong Kong if that makes a difference from the American one.

I had the complete set until recently, now I only have the engine and cars. The cars include: a CP freight car with sliding doors, a CP coal car, a Dairymen's League milk freight car and a yellow CP rial caboose. I'm new to this hobby and don't know much about trains or their history, any help/advice would be really appreciated. Do I have a decent start to a scale rail road or what?

I have an old Bachman Canadian Pacific HO scale engine and cars. It was given to me about 22 years ago and was old then. I can't find a model number but the description is brown and grey with yellow striping and it has the number 4009 on the side. Can anyone tell me the actual age of this train and if it has any value?
