I've recently inherited this 1928 standard gauge Lionel set. It was originally my Great Grandmother's and has been passed down.

I would like to get it operational and fixed up but am wondering how far I should go.

I'm leaning toward good mechanical condition and a light cleaning and letting the paint as is.

Also wondering what a estimated value might be on it. I have no intentions of ever selling it as it's a family heirloom. I'm just curious.

Thanks in advance.
