There are many postings on the forums inquiring as to the value of a particular train or train set. The value of a model train is not easy to ascertain because they are not made to collect - rather, they are made to be run and played with. The only toy trains that have collectible value are those that were produced in very limited numbers , many years ago (and there aren't many of these floating around). If you have something that you would like to sell you should check online auction sites to see what people are willing to pay for something similar to what you have or go to a local train store to see what the owner is willing to give you for it. What you have is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
