The branding made it a perfect crossover collectible for sports fans, auto enthusiasts, and train hobbyists alike.

Olympic Memorabilia - Barcelona'92 is one of the most celebrated Summer Games in modern history. Automotive Heritage - Mopar's tie-in makes this a must for Chrysler and muscle car fans. Because of its narrow production window and promotional nature, the Bachmann Olympic Team Express has become a scarce find in today's market. To discover one new in box like this is an opportunity serious collectors won't want to miss. Bachmann Special Edition (1992): Bachmann produced the Olympic Team Express set in HO scale specifically for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

Corporate Tie-In with Mopar/Chrysler: The set was released as a promotional and commemorative edition connected to Mopar (the parts and service arm of Chrysler). Mopar was heavily involved in sponsorship during the 1992 Olympic Games, linking American industry, cars, and trains to the global sporting stage. That's why sealed examples are scarce today. The 1992 Summer Olympics - Barcelona, Spain.

Widely remembered as one of the most iconic Games in modern history, the 1992 Olympics symbolized new unity after the end of the Cold War. Barcelona became a world stage for celebration, culture, and athletic excellence. This was the year the legendary "Dream Team" (USA Basketball) debuted, forever changing the Olympics.

The Olympic Team Express was created to capture that spirit in model railroading form - a colorful, celebratory set representing teamwork, speed, and the thrill of international sport. Mopar (short for Motor Parts) is the service, parts, and customer care brand of Chrysler (now Stellantis). Founded in 1937, Mopar is synonymous with muscle cars, performance upgrades, and American automotive heritage. By linking Mopar branding with an Olympic train set, Chrysler showcased both innovation and patriotism, making this Bachmann release a cross-collectible for both model train fans and automotive enthusiasts.
