General Discussion / Engine type and name of train set?
January 08, 2008, 11:26:41 PM
I bought a train set at Costco (Canada) for a relative in 1994. Now returned to me (but without the box).  E-Z track, CN engine (with CN words, not stripes), red caboose with black top raised nearer to one end, reddish brown box car, brown cattle car, reddish brown hopper car, red gondola car, orange Shell single dome tank car.  Just bought Walthers 2008 catalog but it does not show this engine or caboose.  Trying to find Kadee couplers to fit but conversion in the Walthers doesn't help.  Does anyone know this engine...is it an EMD GP38-2 (or some other one).  Need to know which so I can follow conversion instructions on Bachmann site.  Would like to know name of train set too if possible.  Relatively new to model railroading with just enough knowledge to not be knowledgeable yet.  Thanks in advance.
