A friend of mine got a Bachmann train set for Cheistmas. The set is called the Challenger. In the set is a NC&STL 0-6-0 steam switcher. It's road number is 170. Would this have been a REAL NC&STL locomotive? What railroad did NC&STL go into?? Thanks for any info.
 
Sorry, after double checking, the road number is 150, not 170. And yes, I realized I spelled Christmas wrong in the above post.
 
for future referances, you can edit your posts, rather than apologizing in seperate posts.

I did a few quick google searches and cant find anything, so i would say no its not a real locomotive, and honestly most sets dont come with prototypical locomotives, either their numbers are messed up or there completely wrong models.
 
NC&StL = Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis. They did not have any 0-6-0s in 1939. As Littlefoot said, some companies will put any number or railroad on the engine or cars. The railroad is now part of CSX by way of the L&N, Seaboard System, and then to CSX.
