Tyco Golden Eagle HO Scale Train Set Commercial 1980

[@Ryochi2011]

I remember the Silver Streak train commercial but never seen this one thanks for showing it😊

0:30 In 1980, it's funny how they had that light lit up like the LED lighting on the newer models today. In reality, the whole "cab" would be lit up including the trucks at the bottom. Making the locomotive have ground lights.

LOL I hadn't noticed that!

Hello I think the Golden Eagle train set its so cool 😎

[@ericsimmons7716]

Great funky music! End of the era, 1980.

[@Robboned]

I have this set still in the box although the main box itself is a bit tattered everything else is new. Cool set.

[@VintageRoadRail]

I also have this set, but sadly no box. :(

Wow classic

I've got the same kind of railroad crossing on my current 11x8 L-shape HO-scale model train layout. It's mostly a DCC layout with nickel-silver Bachmann E-Z Track and realistic landscaping, but it's got a fun "retro" aesthetic to it. Of course in the usual advertising fashion they stretch the truth by dubbing in the sound of a real railroad crossing bell; on the actual TYCO crossing the bell is much smaller, but it's still such a cool and unique accessory from TYCO. (Bachmann's attempt at such a flashing and ringing crossing signal at that time wasn't as good.)

Wonderful....are they still manufactured?

[@VintageRoadRail]

Sadly no. Only made in 1980. Can find on eBay and train shows

i have one of these locomotives but it doesn’t run ☹️

[@huntercoleman460]

How much did you pay for it?

[@VintageRoadRail]

I don't have the complete train set. I got the Golden Eagle locomotive and caboose for around $45.00.
