The CN Bachmann 90's train set came with F7 locomotive, hopper car, boxcar, caboose, track, and a controller complete with wires. The locomotive had the familiar white, black strips and all the rolling stock had the CN emblem on them. That was a great starter set. I don't know about the Bullet Train. I do know about the Athearn band drives and still have them running fine plus fast. You need to seal the deal and move in with the girlfriend then the basement project will happen. Great memories, Jersey Bill
Cool story, I got into the hobby with my dad in 2021 and got my dcc controller (also a digigtrax dcs52) Christmas of 2021, as well nice to see a fellow Canadian =]
Enjoyed the story a lot. Kinda crazy how many locos and rolling stock you have collected over relatively short time since 2020. Thanks for sharing.
@@Hawaii_HO I'm happy you enjoyed the story :) I'm slowly selling locomotives that I know I'll probably never use lol.

@@JerseyBill-x9r I remember that band drive was so fast it would throw itself right off the curve lol. I think the Coka Cola locomotive was a Tyco.
