The famous East meets West locos from ceremony held upon completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad are introduced to N-scale by Bachmann in 1979. The 4-4-0 American locos, UP and CP, retailed for $25 each in 1979. Bachmann's HO-scale models are used in the N-scale Locomotives section of the 1979 catalog for illustration. A review of the original Bachmann 4-4-0 release is found in the pages of Model Railroader's April 1980 edition.
