1980's New Bright Trains Sets
Posted by csa30thga on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 10:15 AM

I was wondering does anybody know where I might be able to find the old New Bright Train Set that came out in the Late 80's to mid 90's My first trainset was one called the Great American Express. It must of been a really popular set because I can find these on websites like E-bay. But I know there where others too------I got alot of these sets for christmas. And I know too they use to have accessories like extra track, switches, and cars. I am intersted in starting a collection if these trains. I also like that they were battery powered too. Any info would be great help.

Twenty year old New Bright sets might be a bit hard to get hold of, as they made design modification each year so they had "NEW & IMPROVED" product each year. New track and accessories are available on their web site. http://www.newbright.com/ except that their site is currently "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" so they must be revamping their product catalog. Check it in a few days.
