these sets have gone by several names over the last few years..most recently "Buddy-L"..
they are quite "low end", although the loco mechanism *might* be based on Bachmann parts..I dont think that was ever confirmed though.

http://cgi.ebay.com/KEYSTONE-DIE-CAST-ELECTRIC-TRAIN-SET-G-Scale-NEW_W0QQitemZ270279636354QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270279636354
with a "buy it now" price of $189, IMO is not worth any more than $60..
They make good "kitbash fodder"..but I wouldnt pay more than $40 for a locomotive or $60 for the whole set..
the track cant be used outdoors, and is basically worthless except for an "around the christmastree loop" ..
and the powerpack is also basically pointless..and the cars are very cheap..
its ok stuff if you understand what you are getting and pay a realistic (very low) price for it..
