Post by: Ohio on September 29, 2023, 05:13:07 PM
Hello all. I recently inherited quite a large collection of various engines and rail cars all of different manufacturers and I'm trying to put a face value to each one but having trouble finding any information on 2 in particular BACHMANN engines which are 1). SANTA FE 307 and. 2). EMD F9 DIESEL Union Pacific 1480. Any help with some info on these 2 engines would be greatly appreciated . Please and Thank you.

The Santa Fe 307's are probably the most plentiful Bachmann locos out there. They came with the basic train sets.
There are lot of them for sale on EBay.

I couldn't find a Bachmann loco with that road number. Athearn makes a U. P. F7A with 1480 road number.

I would check out the great equalizer known as eBay.  That's what they really are going for.

There is no such thing as plastic train set equipment that has any resale value at all.
