bigboy4024,sounds like you have quite a find. Although I'm not sure that there is a "set value" on any of these items, but if you hold on to them, and ask around, I'm sure you will find someone who will pay a fair price for them. Just remember that what you have is railroad history, and there is definitely a market for them. Best of luck to you!!!
