Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

  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
