Product code: Bachmann N popular scale The Yard Boss
This is an older version of The Yard Boss. Back then it had 4 cars instead of 3 with the new version. Despite its age it is in remarkably good condition. I ran the train for several minutes while pulling the cars and it did very good. I did discover that it popular did not do well going over switches on my Kato track by derailing 50% of the time. It's probably due to deeper flanges on the drive wheels. But just doing the included track should be fine. It was missing one piece of curve track but I had a piece of Atlas track that is identical to the Bachmann. I tested the controller and it worked great. Box is excellent. Brings back memories for me because the first N scale I bought back in the Seventies was a Yard Boss like this one. But I believe this one is from the late nineties.
