After I started talking about building a train set for my daughter her grandparents brought over a train set they bought for there daughter in the 70's
It's increadably preserved. I can post pic's if anyone's interested.
I looked through the instructions and cannot locate a date. The
model number is 60-3000 American Freight Express HO scale (The Locomotive is a GP-35). Every piece is in prestine conditions, even the box is almost pervect. Even the original price tag is still on it. All the train cars are in there orginal boxes inside the box. It looks as if it has never been use. I know that things from the 70's are not that old.
Anybody have anymore info, is the company still around?
Has this any real value?
Thanks,
Tim

barbarosa,
Thank you for the link.
Sounds as if they are typical products made in the early 70's when quality was a lower priority. Even though this set is 100% complete.
It's still interesting to take a look back.
Thanks again,
Tim
