Vintage Train

How do I find out the worth of a Vintage Lionel Train Set?

I found in my (now deceased) fathers garage a complete Lionel Train Set. Says Die Cast Steam Locomotive. There is a model number of 1492. Also has a Tender that says Jersey Central Lines, Gondola w/canisters, Box Car that reads Erie Lockawana EL 9043, Hopper Red CN, Flat Car w/logs and a caboose.

Model Railroading is a fast growing hobby. Find the group in your area and see what they would pay to get your set.

I think there ought to be some Yahoo! Groups on Model Railroading if you care to check with them.

I know members of 3 groups here in NM who are now getting ready for the fairs with their displays of trains.

Check at your local fair grounds and see if a group lives there, check the State Fair grounds to see if a group lives there. I mean that literally, they “live” in their display buildings working on the set ups 24/7/365 days of the year.
