Bachmann's 1970 catalog features two train sets. This EMD GP40 set was one, the other was the
EMD F9 Diesel A Unit and 4 Cars. The 1970 catalog shows an N-scale Penn Central example for the GP40 set. The
1971 Bachmann catalog includes the set again, this time an HO-scale Penn Central is displayed. The set included a circle
of 18"-radius track; power pack; instructions; and the display/storage case as seen in the above picture. Retail on
this set in the early '70s was $23 for the version without a power pack and $30 for set with power pack. This set's
last Bachmann catalog appearance is 1972, beginning in 1974 an expanded version is found called the EMD GP40 Diesel with 5
Cars Plus 6 Exciting Accessories.
