Hey, guys!
It's been a LONG time since I've been around these parts. I've missed y'all but other responsibilities have pretty much kept me away form my railroading hobby. (My train table is now home for our guinea pig's cage...
)
All that aside, I need to do a little price checking if y'all don't mind.
One of the ladies that I work with brought in a Lionel O27 locomotive numbered 2034. It's diecast and the light works. She thought it smoked but everything I've found on the 2034s says they don't. She says her dad got it in 1956 or '57 and it came with a set of 4 cars which she also still has. (I'm guessing tender, two cars and a caboose.) She no longer has the track because it was nailed down to a table in her parents' basement and no one thought to salvage that. The locomotive appears to be in excellent condition for being over 60 years old and she says the cars are all in the same condition.
Can someone give me a ballpark figure for what this set might be worth? I have been seeing some really low prices for these on eBay but figured that the time of year and economy may be playing into that. Any info you can give me would be great!
