I also concur with Roy, the less that perfect or mint in the box examples go down in value. Mint/boxed anything train wise will hold value over time, might go up and down but will hold its own. But for the most part, trains have not recovered value wise to thier pre recession levels. Its very much a buyers market right now and probably will be for awhile to come. As more of the generation that grew up with these trains pass on, more will come onto the market that has less interested buyers. I see less modelers interested in tinplate, or older Lionel/AF in general. I hope that changes. I was born in 1973, so I grew up with the MPC and LTI era of Lionel. But my taste as always been in late prewar and early postwar Lionel. I am only now dipping my toes in Standard Gauge, buying a 8e to restore and some track from the LHS to run it on. Mike
