Check Ebay or another auction site for a comparable item. Most used locos aren't worth much more than 20 bucks.

It sounds like you're talking about the 2006 Championship L.A. Lakers Bachmann HO Express Train Set made exclusively for Hawthorne Village by Bachmann. This was sold as a complete DC powered set and also as a "piece at a time" collectable. For the "piece at a time" deal, each car and the locomotive came packaged individually, along with a piece or two of track. Once you had all the pieces, you could get the power pack.

eBay is showing the individual cars and loco going for $20 - $28 each, depending on condition and whether they are in the original package with the piece of EZ-Track.

A video of a complete set, with some extra locos to make an ABBA lashup, that has been upgraded with DCC and sound can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auKiA3pqBHU
