Eric's Postwar Lionel Trains & Accessories Included in this page is the stuff that started it all for me. For years as a child I had heard my dad talk about his childhood train set. My dad told me that in his day, his O-27 train set took up 2 ping-pong tables.

He always said he'd give it to me at some point, but that time never seemed to come. Sadly, it took a death in the family for things to finally be set into motion. When my grandparents died around 1990, I was 14 years old.My grandparents had been married for over 50 years and had lived in their house (In Virginia Atlanta) for something close to that, so you can imagine there was quite a bit of "crap" to clean out.

Family members ransacked the house, taking whatever was willed to them and bargaining for anything that was not. As a 14 year old kid, though, I couldn't give a rat's ass about who got the dining room table or the china set. I was solely interested in one thing: The train set.

We finally found the old set where my dad's mom had left it, casually thrown into big cardboard boxes in a dark storage room in the back of the basement. The key word in that last sentence being "thrown", the set was a wreck to say the least. I don't know what it is, but all mother's seem to have this built-in talent for casually trashing anything a kid has that will one day be worth loads of cash.

How many mothers over the years have tossed a postwar Lionel set into the back room as if it were a pair of old gym shoes? How many moms out there mindlessly threw away that Marvel comic #1 that would be worth a zillion dollars now or the original Luke Skywalker action figure that would be pricesless now? They all do it, so my guess it just comes with being a mom.

Anyway, the train boxes got "thrown" into my parents car and were then deposited in my parents' basement. I slowly began the immense task of sorting through the boxes and piecing the set back together.In the space below, you can find a detailed account of my experience with the old postwar set. Also included in this page is postwar items that I've added in recent years, thanks mostly to ebay!

The original Lionel O-27 track - I'd say that about 95% of the original tracking was rusted and useless. I trashed the majority of it and replaced it with shiny new 0-27 track. I have since replaced all that O-27 track with standard O gauge track made by Atlas.

The original Lionel O-27 switches - Many of the switches were busted and inoperative. A few of them remained in operation on my set for several years, but they have all now been replaced by standard O gauge switches made by Atlas. Now to the real stuff, the trains...

1 It is worth good money to a collector, and if as you say the set is complete ,then it will fetch near top dollar if everything is good or better condition, My father and his brothers owned a Lionel train outlet store in the 1950's . I had a large incomplete collection of odd display pieces without the packaging. I sold everything as a lot to a fellow that had a model train store, he could not give me top price since the pieces needed some restorative work and things like a locomotive did not have the companion coal tender car etc.I might recommend you look at Barnes and Noble or Amazon for books that will list the pieces you have and give suggested retail collector prices.

You could use an auction house if the set is rare or sell it to a specialty store as I did. I did this some 25 years ago before there was an eBay or an Internet to direct sale or research the collection. I wish I could have been more specific but its ancient family history now; we saved for memories sake one locomotive super O gage.

Its on a display shelf in my brother's house -it is massive and must weigh about 10 pounds. I hope I have provided some if not much insight on what it may be worth depending on its condition and completeness as a set ,it sounds like you have a good item to offer and will get good money if you sell direct, a reseller (hobby shop ) is not a collector and will not pay top dollar , good luck.

2 Your best way to find out is to start tracking some pieces on ebay & see what they fecth...you should also check out previous auctions where items have sold. Another thing to do would be to take some NICE photos of the set and hit a train show near your home. Ask a few dealers what they think it might be worth & what they'd sell it for (mind you their retail price is not what you'd get if you sold it to a dealer).

Then, decide if you want to sell the complete set on ebay, or to a dealer. BTW~ THIS *right* now is a good time to find out what it goes for. If you want to get money for it, it would most likely sell during Christmastime.

I need to findout what a Lionel Cannonball train set is worth.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
