I have some old railroad equipment I want to get rid of...
We do not purchase used
model railroad equipment.
However, we are a 501c charitable organization and will gladly accept donations of "previously enjoyed" equipment. Whatever we can't use on our layout will be offered for sale during our annual open house or at local train shows in which we participate. Not only do these donations help support our operation, but they also put it into the hands of many that may just be starting out in the hobby, or have limited financial means, at very reasonable prices.
We will gladly provide a letter of contribution for tax purposes, if desired.
If you would prefer to sell your equipment, we can provide information on potential avenues you can pursue.
A word of caution though, just because they happen to be old and trains does not translate into instant wealth. The more effort you are willing to put in researching what you have to determine a value will get you the best chance of a higher return.There are buyers out there, but you need to find the right one. Unfortunately, we are unable to do that for you. Many have reported unpleasant experiences with some of them. Sentimental value does not factor in either.
