Title: Age Identification
Post by: Banjopicker on April 23, 2009, 11:54:35 AM
Hello to all, I have a pretty simple question, I think.  I'm trying to identify the age of a Bachmann HO set  I just aquired.  It is a Georgia Pacific complete set, with the Item number of AA 40-0440C
If this is not the correct forum, could you please help me find the correct place?
thanks,
Banjopicker

It's only 2, pdlethbridge, but they're crooked numbers.  Does older 'n dirt mean anything to you?   ;)

 I wonder how many members qualify for that Social Security stimulus check which is coming in May & what business they will stimulate with it.  ;)

Unfortunately, mine won't stimulate model trains too many higher priority items I'm afraid.

And I am proud to say I was raised in the twilight of steam and the dawn of diesels.

Tom, I was too. I got to see a lot of B&M steam before they were gone by 1958. When my check comes I think I'll use it for the trains, probably a small industry or 2 from walthers.  I'll buy food with the rest of it.

Getting back to the original question, I looked through my back catalogs and don't see it listed.

Bruce, I like your sig. My brother was an only child!
And as far as your set is concerned, it probably won't be listed as it most likely was a sales item for Georgia Pacific. You might try to look for sets that have the same engine and cars but a different road name. That should get you close to its age.
