Bachmann Trains - East Broad Top - Freight Ready to Run Electric Train Set - On30 Scale

The East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company, which began operations in 1872 to mine and transport coal from Broad Top Mountain in central Pennsylvania, is now celebrated with this On30 freight train set from Bachmann. The railroad, which held the distinction of being the only surviving original narrow-gauge railroad east of the Rockies for much of its history, ceased operations in 2011. However, thanks to the dedicated efforts of enthusiasts and investors, steam locomotives will once again head down the tracks of the EBT in 2022 as the railroad returns to service with passenger excursions.

This Complete Ready To Run Train Set features a 2-6-0 Steam Era Locomotive with an Operating Headlight and Coal Tender, along with a Tank Car, Two-Bay Steel Hopper Car, and Caboose. The set also includes a 56" x 38" Oval of Nickel Silver E-Z Track, a Power Pack, and a Speed Controller, allowing the On30 Scale - O Scale Narrow Gauge Model to run on HO Track.

The revival of the East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company is a testament to the enduring passion of those who have worked tirelessly to preserve its history. This Bachmann train set not only captures the essence of the railroad's past but also celebrates its remarkable comeback, offering enthusiasts and model railroaders alike the opportunity to experience the magic of the EBT once again.
