Kim....Sorry to hear of your father's passing. Taking care of your
father's collection will bring up good memories. I bought a collection
last summer in Bristol Ct. - a relatively small one. Same circumstances.
I'm still working on making them runners.
Anyway, I live in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. What town are you in? Maybe
you are nearby? I'd be glad to take a look - I've been buying over EBAY
and other auction sites for a while so, in my humble opinion, I have an
idea of what these engines are worth. If it is ten boxes it sounds like
a big job. Maybe there are one or two that I'd love to acquire.
If you want to go with an auction house please do your homework. Go local.
I can ask my cousin, who has experience with this (selling toy trains) for a
reference. I'm thinking of going this route to winnow my collection.
Good Luck,
Wayne
