You might try watching if any similar or exact pieces come up on Ebay to see what they typically sell for.

Hello Mack Billy ! Yes, Your Train is from the early 30's era and the Brass Piper Engine was one of Flyer's best looking ones. However, what is the overall condition of the Trains? Brass Piper's can be very valuable if in top notch shape. If you have a scanner or a photo, Then scan a Picture of your Train so that we can see it and give you a idea of what it may be worth. I know that you stated your train is in excellent shape.For some folks excellent means "Mint" for others it could mean "like new" In short, its hard to give a value without seeing the object first. And, you also have to consider the Economy,The Toy Train Marketplace and other economic conditions that exists today. For most folks a Train is only worth what they'll pay for it.( Other than the nostalgia value) Take care and have a nice evening.[:)]
