Marty- With the way most things are mass produced, mostly made of plastic and built overseas I can't see too much collectable value in todays trains. I don't take away anything from the people who collect trains, but I think that there isn't much out there of any real value today. I am certain that most pieces will hold a considerable value as long as they are still in good working order and have all their detail. I don't think that weathering a piece would detract value. If it was weather well it might add to it. <br /> <br />I bet I could sell off all my stuff today and get back what I paid for it. Even 5 or 10 years from now. I would just have to take care of it and I can't see the stuff losing value. I can't see it gaining any though. So, to answer your question, I think you could get what you paid or close to it for the things you weathered. I guess it all depends on how hard you try to sell it. With the internet there are alot more doors to knock on than in the old days when all you had was classified newspaper ads and the like. Good Luck. Maybe you could venture onto ebay and test the waters with something. <br />Peter
