I was just thinking the other day about my very first train set. It was my 6th birthday. I got a Bachmann set with an 0-6-0 switcher, 4 cars, and a caboose. That locomotive ran for about two weeks before it died. sign1 But that was enough to get me hooked. I still have one of the cars that came with the set to this day. The track had incredibly tight radius turns, like 15", and an elevated section with a bridge that required a 4%+ grade. haha The best part was the power pack that went from forward to reverse with the same throttle knob, making stopping quickly an exercise in motor skills. :rofl: Did anyone else have one of these sets? It may have been called the Iron Horse, or something like that, I can't remember.
