I've got a bunch of WWII Model Railroader Magazines. I really don't have the desire to hold on to them. Is there any value to them that I should be aware of or are there any recommendations to see them to a good museum or something (in a whole lot)?

I would scan them into a computer and upload them so they will be online for everyone to see.  

Our local hobby shop used to give you a nickel for MR and price them at $.50 and had boxes of them.  Just took 3 more boxes to him and he suggested to trash them.  Took them to a couple of Timonium MD train shows then finally trashed them.  Seems magazines have very little to no after market value.  I give my OGR, CTT & O Scale trains to a rag hustler on the O scale circuit.  I see him carry them from show to show.  I think it is his social life.

I did have a collection of MR from the fifties for nostalgic reasons but eventually gave them away.

If they are in mint condition with no musty smells, they have some value. If I were getting rid of mine I would try to find someone that would enjoy them and sell them for the cost of shipping. MR has digitized them, most people would rather read them on a computer  and not deal with the smell of old magazines or the space they take.
