Directions Read assembly instructions before use Safety Warning Small Parts Review: Muy detallado. - De muy buena calidad y detalle. Review: Great starter set - I recently got back into model trains after I got summer off from college. I use N scale because it’s small enough for limited space in small rooms. I chose this set because it has a relatively big locomotive and a lot of cars for a good value. The track was very easy to put together. The 4-8-4 Northern locomotive included in this set can haul a lot of cars. The train is quite detailed for being little. I am having fun with it so far. I know the set has some critical complaints for derails and herky-jerky movement of the train, but those instances are likely due to the track being set up incorrectly. Before you run the locomotive, make sure that all the ends of the tracks are lined up correctly. Once you do that, the train runs very smoothly. Love this set, I’m going to have a lot of fun with it. ## Features - Complete Ready To Run 68 Piece Freight Train Set - Powered by a Northern 4-8-4 Steam Era Locomotive and Tender with Operating Headlight - Includes; Wood Reefer Car, Single Dome Tank Car, Center-Flow Hopper Car, Plug-Door Box Car, Wood Stock Car, Wood Braced Gondola Car, Open Quad Offset Hopper Car, Off-Set Cupola Caboose, Railroad Signs, Street Signs, and Telephone Poles - 44" x 24" Oval of Nickel Silver E-Z Track , Power Pack and Speed Controller - N Scale 1:160 - Designed for Use by Experienced Hobbyist – Not Meant for Beginners - Small Highly Detailed Components – For Consumers Ages 14 and Up ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006KQHLA | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Age range (description) | Baby | | Assembly Instructions Description | Included | | Assembly Time | 30 Minutes | | Base Material | Plastic, Metal | | Battery Description | requires alkaline batteries | | Brand | Bachmann | | Brand Name | Bachmann | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts, No Warning Applicable | | Collection Name | All | | Colour | Silver,wood | | Compatibility Options | N Scale, E Z Track | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Manual/Hand Control | | Controller Type | touch | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 276 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Construction Skill, Hand-Eye Coordination | | Fit Type | interlocking | | Frame Material Type | Wood, Plastic Metal | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00022899240091 | | Included Components | Bachmann Trains - Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Is Electric | No | | Item Dimensions | 111.8 x 61 x 3.8 centimetres | | Item Shape | train set | | Item Type Name | Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale | | Item Weight | 2.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Bachmann Industries Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 24009 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty - Warranty information can be found at www.bachmanntrains.com Click on Service department tab. | | Material | Plastic Metal | | Material Type | Plastic Metal | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 640.0 | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 168.0 | | Minimum Age Recommendation | 168.0 | | Model Name | Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale | | Model Number | 24009 | | Model name | Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale | | Not for Kids | No | | Number of Pieces | 68 | | Number of Players | 36 UK | | Occasion | Birthday, Children's Day | | Operation Mode | manual | | Other Special Features of the Product | Portable | | Outer Material | Cardboard, Plastic | | Pattern | Freight Train, Railroad, Industrial | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Style | Modern | | Rail Guage | 9mm (standard gauge for N Scale, equivalent to 1435mm full scale) | | Rechargeable Batteries Included? | No | | Recommended Uses For Product | Railroad, Industrial, Freight Train | | Remote Included | No | | Scale | No | | Set Name | Empire Builder | | Size | 18" x 3" x 20" | | Skill Level | Experienced | | Theme | Car,Train | | UPC | 022899240091 | | Unit Count | 68.0 count | ## Images ![Bachmann Trains - Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41rEhh6vWSL.jpg) ![Bachmann Trains - Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511UvfFdR4L.jpg) ![Bachmann Trains - Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XDm90GGqL.jpg) ![Bachmann Trains - Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91KZbdd5KLL.jpg) ![Bachmann Trains - Empire Builder Ready To Run 68 Piece Electric Train Set - N Scale - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51scyrMKH8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is smallest to largest scales** A: Of the common scales: Z
