<p> Rick,</p><p>you´d be surprised, how little you will finally get for your trains and accessories, although it sounds, as if you have some real goodies there. Plastic structures have virtually no value, unless your are able to sell them for small $$$ locally, Packaging and shipping is forbidding in that case. Your brass locos are certainly items of value, but the PFM sound system has been long replaced by DCC&Sound and therefore maybe more an obstacle for selling it instead of a boost.</p><p>In all, figure on not getting much more than 25 - 30 % of the current retail value. Don´t ask me how I know - I had to sell most of my MRR stuff when I lost my job.</p><p>I would also like to chime in with the other posters to your thread. At the age of 63, you are anything but old. Even if you don´t feel up to building a huge layout anymore, a small one would be certainly within reach and could give you tons of fun.</p><p>I am building a small (small? <font size="1">small!</font> ) layout myself, benchwork, track and "electrics" not more than $ 150, keeps me from going insane. I am 54 now and have no chance to find a job here in Germany.<br></p>
