Any HO Scale Train Modelers Here?

[Chillyb1]

As the title indicates, I'm looking for someone who knows anything about HO scale train stuff. I'm helping my parents get rid of several decades's worth of accumulated detritus the we four children amassed. My brother's trains and track are from the mid to late 1970s and I'd like to get rid of them, but need some advice before I do. I don't know anything about trains and don't really know what kind of information is pertinent to the potential buyer. Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Chilly watch the news they have an awsum RR show in Milwaukee...lots of traders, dealers, and railfans.

I bought most of my HO goodies there...btw Milw is Wm K Walthers hometown...largest M.RR wholesaler around.

If you have any Milw Road goodies let me know.

Thanks, Mike. I'm working on identifying the cars and inventorying what's in the box. Checking eBay auctions, reading about HO trains on various websites, just gauging (bad pun sort of intended) interest in such things. I don't anything about the hobby and am hoping someone here is an HO enthusiast.

I won't get around to dealing with this until next month but any and all input is appreciated.

I'll check to see if there is anything from the Milwaukee RR.

Where in Illinois are you. There's a big train swap meet in Wheaton, DuPage County Fairgrounds, almost once a month (excluding summer months). That may be a good place to gauge prices.

Thanks, Gerry. I'm all the way on the other side of the state and about half way down. Too far to go for this. I do sometimes visit friends in Evanston and could maybe work in a trip when one of the swaps is going on. We'll see. Thanks again for the suggestion.
