I would have never thought that, because when it comes to model train layouts, if it's not HO scale, I'm just not interested.
Quality HO (brass, vintage Tenshodo, etc.) still brings a decent "collector" price. The real money is in anything early (pre-1920 and particularly pre WWI) and in some 30's standard gauge (larger than O).
The typical Lionel vintage O gauge set isn't bringing the money that it used to. I'm seeing decent Lionel postwar Santa Fe F3's selling for $100 to $150. To have value, it either needs to be truly rare or in high grade condition. The train needs to be like new or better. The market is very condition sensitive. All of my postwar Lionel is either unrun or LN with complete nice boxes.
Nice boxed sets do well too, if in nicer condition.

When my Father in Law passed, we got all of his model trains and set ups. It is about 30-35 boxes worth. We don't know what to do with them. Any idea on looking up values or trying to sell them?
