Value and how to sell Lionel O gauge trains from 1951

[MILSURP Collector]

These were my older brother's trains. He was born in 1951 and I remember setting them up a few times around Christmas.

I have been hauling them around since 1991 and am downsizing.

I have looked on E-bay and thought of listing them by piece or as a set. Some are well worn from moves.

Any sources locally who would sell for a decent commission? Any other ideas locally vs. Shipping on Ebay?

Thanks,

Ebay would be your best bet if you want the most money for them . There are several Lionel train dealers in the metro area that you could give a call and see what they would be willing to do

I passed mine down to my great niece and great nephew hopefully it will stay in the family for generations.

Try contacting these guys. Hopefully someone can help you out. I know they draw a pretty good crowd for the small shows they put on.

From the pictures you've got a decent Baldwin 6-8-6 loco and tender. Depending upon conditions and wear, you could retail just that for$150-200. Just an internet guess but double or triple for set. I'm not an expert but I love trains and I'm jealous LOL. Just remember they made millions of them and it may take the right buyer. Good luck. Hopefully that helped a little.
