Quite difficult to give an idea not knowing what we actually talk about. In general, Trix and Marklin are German manufacturers. Marklin bought Trix a number of years ago and has established Trix as their 2-rail DC brand, whereas Marklin is 3-rail AC. Older Trix stuff is either 2-rail DC or even 3-rail DC, but by no means compatible with Marklin 3-rail AC. European prototype engines and cars have a rather limited market in North America. The Trix USRA Light Mikado and UP Big Boy are sought after items and should fetch a reasonable amount. Both models are also available from Marklin, but will be difficult to sell. None of the stuff can be regarded as collector´s items, except Marklin´s famous Swiss "Crocodile" electric engine, but only if it is article no. 3015, in mit condition and original box. Of course, both Marklin and Trix sell better in their country of origin, but shipping cost to Germany is prohibiting.
