pancake motor u36b, with horn hook couplers and cars with talgo trucks. not worth very much to a serious model railroader I am afraid. compared to what is available to-day these are notoriously poor quality.
Around $10-$15 including any shipping expenses a potential buyer may incur.

The bad news is that the set is 32 two years out of date. The good news is, well there is no really good news. I hope you did not just recently buy it. :(
Play with it or give it to someone to play with.... :)

Good idea. ;)
I still use all of the older Bachmann cars from a set I had in the 80's as well as those I bought over the years. I changed out the trucks/couplers and replaced the pizza cutter wheels and enjoy them along with my newer Bachmann cars.
The Bachmann engines from that time period, did go the way of extinction though.
I removed the power pickups from a couple of older locos like that, "junked" them up, then sat them on a dead siding waiting for their trip to the scrapper.

I had thought of that, but had no extra sidings and any way they were so far out of my time period (1995 about) that they would have been scrapped twenty five years earlier. ;D
