Hi Guys,

I'm a newbee modeler, and I just purchased, from my neighbor who was moving, an old American Eagle HO set.

The set has
Union Pacific diesel with lighted engine #on engine is 824
6 other cars including caboose
Plastic wheels on rolling stock
81" x 36" track layout
Steel track
17 Piece bridge and trestle set
36 signs & telephone poles
Operating crossing gate
18 figures

Everything is in the original packaging and looks brand new. I did a search for American Eagle and got no results so I'm thinking that this is a pretty old set.

Do any of you have an idea as to how old this set is? And was it worth the 36-pack of beer that I paid for it :-)

Thanks
Larry
