If it's a Bachmann train set, it's probably worth very little, maybe around $40. Bachmann is not Lionel; it is not sought-after by collectors. That said, there are a few sets that do sell for a lot more. The best reference is seeing what that set has been selling for on ebay recently.

It is definitely bachman. I am toying with the idea of getting some more trackwork and putting it around the walls of my sons room as well..

A 1988 set is going to probably have an unreliable locomotive and brass track.  You'll probably be money ahead to start from scratch.  In addition, as a general rule the round the room close to the ceiling - which is what you are probably thinking about- is best done in large scale.
