Untouched Layout For 45+ Years. Anything Worth Anything?

An acquaintance of mine sent me the following photos of a 2-rail layout that he was recently made aware of and was built, but not totally completed during the 50's and 60's. The owner passed away in 1967 and the layout has been untouched since. Are any of the items in the following photos worth anything? He (and I) may have the opportunity to purchase everything in this basement that is train related, from the track to the rolling stock, engines and any accessories that are down there. This is all 2-rail o-gauge, the track is all hand laid, (although it certainly doesn't look like it), but it definitely is, much of the rolling stock is brass, but as mentioned, nothing has been run or looked at for over 45+ years. Not being 2-rail guys, (We are both 3-rail), we're just wondering if there is much value to items shown in the photos? Most cars are kits, there is obviously some plasticville from that era, etc... Any feedback or info on any of this stuff would be much appreciated. Thanks!
