i have a bunch of vintage trains, i need quotes
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, January 1, 2007 12:07 AM
hello, my uncle and i have found a bunch of old trains my grandpa had purchased before he had passed away, 90% of then are New In Box. They range from 1970's to 1980's im sure there are some from the 60s but not sure at this point. Most of them are the engines and are all metal, can anyone give me a ball park figure on how much they are worth? i'll get pics up soon, we have like 3 boxes of trains and engines alone.

Hi!

First, you need to provide a bit more information. Are the trains HO? O? What brand names are on the boxes? What type of locomotives, rolling stock, condition, etc.

If you have O gauge trains (Lionel, for instance), try the Classic Toy Trains forum on this site. If the trains are HO or N scale, try the Model Railroader forum, also on this site.

Good luck!

Some pictures would help also.

Enjoy

also the number on them helps a lot. Without pics and description of what each item is it like asking you what a car is worth without telling you weather its a rolls or a yugo
