Earlier this year, I came across an old Lionel set at a hobby store with a 1952 2034 loco. That tired loco had seen better days, but the whole set was $20, so I bought it. I then paid $35 to get the loco tuned up. Not because I thought it was valuable as a collectable, but because it had lasted this long. Some kid had loved it once, long ago. It has a good home now and someday my kids will have it to run for their kids. Sometimes a train's value is not monetary. Jim
