Well, this engine was manufacturered from 1950-51 and according to the price guide is worth $65 in good condition with the tender (which should have the number 6466W stamped in the bottom). However, your engine wouldn't be worth that much (especially with the front missing). There are repair parts available and O/O27 gauge track for it is very easy to come buy if you want to fix it up and run it. If you have any further questions about it, I' suggest asking them in the Classic Toy Trains forums where you'll get much more/better responses.
