HI I AM NEW TO THIS FORUM

I HAVE A TRAIN THAT IS ABOUT 50% COMPLETED

IT IS MADE FROM BRASS TUBING AND IS WAS MADE BY MY GRANDFATHER WHO PASSED AWAY IN THE 1960S

THE TRAIN IS VERY HEAVY AND VERY DETAILED

I HAVE PARTS AND LANTERNS WITH JEWELS INSETS

I ALSO HAVE TRAIN BLUE PRINTS FROM 1930 TO 1940

DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS ANY VALUE TO THESE ITEMS

THANKS DAN
