Title: Would anyone help IDing these items to see if they are vintage/valuable?
Post by: imax76 on January 20, 2011, 01:10:51 AM
Found these bachman items, can't get a reading when I enter their numbers into this websites item # identifier.
There are quite a few, but here are some:

Bridge and Trestle set #2924(HO scale)
Covered coil car #43-1014-70(B.L.E)
36 ft wide vision steel caboose (SF) #43-1007-02
42' open quad offset hopper (L&N) 43-1006-41
power pack #6607 for HO and N
Any help would be greatly appreciated

One may assume that anything Bachmann that is pre Spectrum days isn't worth anything.

They did not have a good reputation among serious modellers until the Spectrum line came out.

Nothing special, the cars are probably only worth $2-$4 depending on condition and a few other factors. The power pack is worth a couple dollars if it works, and is in good condition. The trestle set is worth a couple dollars too.

Check out Ebay for recent sales.
Bachmann Plus locomotives always go for between $25.00 - $40.00.
Bachmann Plus engines are good runners.
Running 4-8-4 old Northerns $35.00 - $55.00.
Even the old 2 wheel drive engines with traction tires sell for $15.00- $20.00.
The Orient Express sets over $100.00
Someone still likes the Older non-Spectrum stuff because they keep buying them.
I have several of the older engines that I have used as dummies.
Some of the older road names and paint you can't get.

They might be vintage. Just not valuable. Vintage many times does not mean valuable.
