I have always enjoyed model railroading and I’ll continue to browse forums/videos/pictures so that I may live vicariously through other people in regards to model railroading. But, in any case I just don’t have the time or space for it. I would just hold onto this stuff but I refuse to put it in the attic as it would turn to glob of molten plastic.
The stuff that I have is a real hodge-podge from my uncle’s neighbor, my uncle, and me. I’d like to sell this stuff in lots for simplicity sake; perhaps something like buildings, scenery, and rolling stock. I also didn’t know if certain items may be worth anything for collectors like the Fleischmann Made in US Zone Germany train cars.
What do you think would be a good price to list the different lots for?
(HO Scale unless noted otherwise)
-------------------------------------------------------
Scenery items, the bottles are unopened.
2 older KF powerpacks, 2 cheapy Bachmann controllers. I think one of the KF's does not work.
Scenery stuff.
New buildings except for the train passenger station that is partially built.
Misc. buildings, whistle diner in back.
Pile o' EZ track by bachmann
Bicentennial train, engine has a broken front lip, doesn't run. Bottoms of cars are mixed in with the other cars.
My only newer trains, both run well.
Some misc. pieces, 2 running 'toy' engines at bottom.
Mix of rolling stock the older stuff is mostly labeled "AHM made in Yugoslavia", the others are part of the Bachmann toy train lineup. None of the engines work.
Fleischmann Made in US Zone Germany passenger cars.
All cars, one set poorly repainted by my uncle to milwaukee road.
Mix of track some new, mostly older. Not suitable for mainline use but good for practice/dioramas.
Collection of magazine, most in poor shape from about 1990-1997 range, except for the book on the right which is kind of old.
Models that I'm sneaking in here, not HO scale.
O-scale buildings perhaps? Not sure, way bigger then HO. The toy people/horses stand taller then an HO engine.

The scenery material is worth about $25. The power packs are worth, at most, a few bucks for the lot. The scenery stuff with the tunnel portals, about $5-$10. The misc. buildings, maybe $5. The Building kits are all common but look like they are in good shape so maybe $5 each with the DPM kit worth more like $10. The Bachmann E-Z track is mostly steel so it might go for $20 including the turnouts. The Bicentennial stuff is worth basically nothing in that condition, a few bucks if you're lucky. The pair of Proto 1000 F units would go for about $25 to $40 depending on how bad someone wanted them. The junk in the next pitcture, basically worthless because of the condition. The rolling stock might get 50 cents a car and the non-working engines a buck. The Fleischmann passenger cars I don't know about but I'd be surprised if they have much if any collector value. The other passenger cars are worth maybe 50 cents to a buck each due to the poor condition. The box of track might get you $10-$15. Magazines are very common and almost never bring more than 50 cents a copy at a train show. I don't know about the plastic model kits but I suspect not much just due to the condition of the boxes. The O scale stuff appears to be mostly in pieces and in poor shape. It's all common Plasticville stuff on top of it. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for the lot and that's if the the boxes actually have the original kits inside.
