1, Sure, nothing has changed as far as tracks go, just watch out for the low-profile rails (code 83) as the flanges on your old stuff MIGHT be too deep. 2, Mantua makes a lot of the old TYCO stuff. Ironic as it might be, Mantua was the original manufacturer of most of this stuff, then TYCO had the product line, and now it's back to Mantua. In my own opinion though, I think the newer Mantua stuff is WAY overpriced for what you are getting. The same basic plastic "toy" model that sold for about $20.00 back in the 1970's, now carries a price tag of close to $200.00. 3, Any HO scale equipment will be compatible as long as you use the same type of couplers. 4, If this set is still in the original boxes, I would assume that it has a very good collector value. I can't give you an estimate, but if you want to sell it, try listing it on E-bay, with a reserve, of course, and see how many bites you get. Aside from all that, personally, I would hang on to it. You are not going to sell it for a fortune, and if nothing else, it would make a great under the christmas tree ornament. As a kid I had a couple old TYCO sets myself. I sure wish I still had them today. Not for the investment, just for the sentimental value. Todd C.
