When my Father in Law passed, we got all of his model trains and set ups. It is about 30-35 boxes worth. We don't know what to do with them. Any idea on looking up values or trying to sell them?

I'll give you $500 for all 35 boxes, unseen.

Lookup the local train clubs in your area. Find out when their next train show is or when the last one was. Get a vendor list. Contact them and ask if they'd be interested in buying then reselling them. Not all vendors deal in used, but it's the bread and butter of others.

What gauge are they? Can you post a picture of a group of them? It makes a lot of difference as to what trains are in the mix.

If the track is three rail, then it would likely be Lionel or Marx.
