Bachmann HO Model Train Set Released

April 21, 2006

For 122 years the Pennsylvania Railroad was one of the largest in the world. The keystone crest of Pennsylvania is “The Standard Railroad of America.” With more than 10,000 miles of tracks, the Pennsylvania Railroad accomodated almost 7,000 locomotives and more than 250,000 cars running on the tracks.

To commemorate the long and distinguished history of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Bachmann Industries has released the HO Spectrum. The Bachmann Keystone train set comes with a K4 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive with tender that features a working headlight.

The cars are approximately six inches long and one and a half inches high. There are enough sections of track to allow assembly of several track layouts that are very easy to change. Also included are a plug-in terminal re-railer and power pack that converts household AC current to DC current to allow operation of the locomotive and all lights.

The HO scale Bachmann Keystone train set also comes with a VHS tape detailing the set up of the track. This is an ideal starter set into the wonderful hobby of model railroading.
