Vintage Lionel
August 5th, 2009
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.
Also on box says Gauge 27; what does that mean?
Purchased sometime between 1970 and 1973. I have not put together yet, but plan to this week to see if it still runs. The instructions are chewed up.....looks like a mouse used it to make a bed in the box. LOL!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
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.
