my husband bought a train set at a yard sale this past weekend.  It is all A.H.M, ho gauge, all in original boxes, even the box in which it was shipped in.  But there are no dates anywhere.  I have a:

box car, 5241-14 M & ST L, made in Taiwan

cattle car - 5245-02 Union Pacific, made in Taiwan

open hopper, 5460-14 Lehigh Valley, made in Taiwan

ALCO Century 424, 5015 F Central of N.J., made in Austria

Caboose - 5340P Spirit of '76, made in Taiwan (looks to be newer then the others)

Southern Pacific Diesel Road Locomotive, F7A super pwr S P daylight, by athearn, scaled from official blue prints

mechanical refer - scott paper, 5242E-PB, made in Hong Kong

complete track and two transformers, one by A.H.M, and one by Tyco

any knowledge or assistance I can get on this is appreciated.  I have searched the net over and cannot find anything on any of these items.  Thank you so very much.

Most of the postings here are about full sized trains and railroads that ran in years past. The Model Railroader forum would be a better choice to post your question.  I think that after reorganization some years ago, AHM became IHC, International Hobby Corp.  The modelers on the Model Railroader forum would be more up to date than I am.
