The fastest way to get an idea is to check the auction sites.

HELP !!!!

Hello All:
               I'm in my 70's now and have no one to pass my 1950's era Lionel trains down to. I joined this forum
to sell to other collectors and enthusiasts. I am an only child so my trains were well cared for and not abused.
I will be listing these very soon. I also have several accessories and spare parts that I will be listing. I'm an old fashioned guy who is not a fan of internet payments of any type as they want too much personal information. If this poses a problem please advise and I will seek an alternate way to sell these trains.

The best place to start would be going through catalogs.

A buddy and I have been building a layout and decided to budget for LionChief Plus engines and the occasional MTH RailKing in order to keep costs down. We recently added a new MTH engine to our inventory (their Pennsy "10 Wheeler). We installed the MTH DCS Explorer and their z1000 brick. Everything runs great together, except for one LC+ engine: a recently purchased (new) 0-4-0 NYC switcher (6-84966). It's a neat little workhorse that will get a lot o use as the yard is fleshed out. However, whenever it's on the track the z1000 internal breaker trips. Engine runs great with the Lionel 72 watt DC power pack. Other LC+ engines work just fine, even while running on the same track as the MTH engine. Before we added the MTH, running just on the LC 72 watt supply we could run two LC+ and LC engines at a time with no problem.

Any idea why this little guy draws so much power? Is that normal for this engine?
