I just watched it again, this time I spotted what looks like an ALCO RS5 ?

near the end of the video, going into a roundhouse stall.

at 25:43 on the timer

This video looks at a Russian HO scale layout.
It's attention to detail is amazing, well done.
26 minutes long, worth a watch.

Thanks for everything.

Big Boy Schedule,,,Per  Union Pacific

so I guess if you just happen to be in  Las Vegas, Salt Lake City or Ogden over the next few days,,

is that the 4014 ?
I saw that one once when it was a static display at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona Ca.

Another big one I saw a LONG time ago was an Allegheny at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn MI,,this one

my best guess is they are 2/56  screws, I would be surprised if they were anything else.

if we are lucky the Bachmann himself will confirm or deny that.

I'm modeling in HO steam engines.  I'd like to get freight cars from the 20's, 30's, 40's period.  All cars that I see advertised are modern day.  Where can I find cars from the period that I am modeling?

Roundhouse/Athearn  and Accurail are good bets.
Bachmann too,,the tankers, 40ft box , the coal hoppers, crane cars, could be from the 40's,,

But then again who sez you can't run modern cars with steam ?  I think someone forgot to tell Union Pacific about that.
Enjoy the video to see what I mean

It is difficult to tell in Bachmanns own photos but one has one headlight, the other has two.

WHAT?    
Show me a Law on the books that says that you can't mix eras!
Looks like someone forgot to tell the Union Pacific that.
Have that salesman at your LHS watch this. This video alone will Rock His World.

Thank you acy I appreciate your reply.  I am interested in what the value may be but I really would like to know what model they are.  For example one of the engines has a number 482 on the side.  Does that relate to some model number or just paint.  Is there a way to find out about the peices that are here short of taking photos of each one and sending it in?  When a train is ordered from Bachmann I assume there is some sort of number that goes with that train.  Is there no model numbers of any of this stuff.
I am surprised at the low cost of all that you mentioned.

Thanks again.

The 482 is the cab number of the locomotive. All locos have cab numbers. It is the ID of the loco within the fleet.
Like the number on a cars liscense plate or the number on a naval ships hull.
One thing you can do to ID the locos would to simply goto to an online hobbyshop and match the size and shape of the loco to the pictures of the locos for sale.  Not just the paint but the overall look of the loco. In time you will be able to tell the basic differences between lets say a GP38 and a GP40 which are very common. Or even how to tell a GP from an SD.
For example, a basic rule is GP have four wheel power trucks, SD have six wheel power trucks.

Modern Bachmanns will run on DC  out of the box. No need to do anything.
There IS a slight increase in the locos top speed if the decoder is removed and that is about it.

The slightly lower top speed with the decoder left in is not an altogether a bad thing, as running a loco too fast can be the cause of derailments.

So that is my 2 bits,,,just leave it in.

This video will show you how take it apart
