Jason,
Hello & Welcome to the Forum.
You have some nice trains and shouldn't have any trouble selling them.
Red Caboose Hobbies is located in NYC, and I suggest that you contact them.
212-575-0155
They do purchase previously loved trains and/or will give you an idea of their value.
Hope this helps...

Happy Rails!
Dave

Title: Need help selling 1950s/60s collection
Post by: JasonSpidey on November 29, 2015, 04:44:10 pm

Hi there,

First-time poster here. I'm looking to find someone or someplace in the greater NYC area to sell my father's old O-scale Lionel set to.

The collection varies from fair to good condition—some superficial rust on a few of the pieces, but nothing serious. Mostly, they just look a little weary after five decades in a basement. Many of them are still in the original packaging, though the boxes are in various states of conditions (some are missing their opening flaps, for example).

Some of the highlights:

Locomotives:

#1688E with tender
#1615 with tender
#2365
#2350

Cars:
#6424-60
#6062
#3665
#6477
#3662

Equipment:
Train master Type ZW Transformer (275 watt)
No. 1122 open non-derailing remote control (x2)
Type 1014 multi-volt transformer 40watt

Happy to provide more details, a more complete list or images upon serious request.

I'm not a big model train guy, so I'm looking to get rid of them with as little hassle as possible. Ideally, I'd love to find a single buyer to take the whole collection off my hands at once. Can anyone recommend a person or place in or around New York City to speak to?

Thanks!
