Hello,
Other than eBay I found another site but you need INTERNET EXPLORER to get to the site if you try to get there using NETSCAPE (any version ) the site will tell you what your going to need. I have a version of I.E. an my puter from factory and it worked.
The site name is www.train-z.com , they have all manufacturers listed N-G gauge. I found 2 or 3 items I plan on watching for future purchase.

You may want to watch e-bay or other auctions to see what the items you have for sale are going for. I have found that the Greenberg price guide is a nice starting point, but especially nowadays, not a 100% accurate to what the market will bear. I have purchased a lot of items off e-bay for 50 to 75% less than the book indicates, and some for more than than the price guide indicates. Being forwarned is forarmed. Hope your sales go well (I'm doing the same thing) so you can get all that new stuff.

Selling of used Lionel
Posted by Dr.Fu-Manchu on Sunday, January 18, 2004 4:50 AM
Dr.Fu-Manchu The Train Guy here: I am planning to start selling used Lionel
mostly post-war and some Marx. This will be for folk who run trains and are
looking for items for the pike. I hope to keep prices slighty lower than the
Greenberg price guide. I will also be looking for fixer-upers to repair and resell.
I am going to be open to trades and such. Any items I sell are going to be clean, oiled or greased and missing or broken parts replaced. I am not going
to repaint any items, I am offering them as what they are: items that were played with and loved. But they will be working items, not shelf huggers. I am
hoping to make a little extra $(helps pay for the hobby) I can be contacted at
Lionel19572000@yahoo.com. I hope to put items that might have been tossed
out back into the hands of people who want to have fun, Or in my case: rebuild
my childhood fun.
