I have a fair amount of prewar trains and accessories that have some historical significance and value. I believe I have an obligation to see that those don't end up in the dump. Sure, I have some trains that are new with modern electronics. If they have some value, then my heirs will get a little enjoyment from the cash they bring. For those who think their trains belong in the dump, maybe a charity would benefit from the donation of your collection? Leave them a little cash to rent a dumpster for the things that are truly junk.
