Train Collection

Happy New Year!

I have some items that were passed to me by my dad. They have been boxed in a garage for 40 years and my daughters aren't interested in them. Some pieces were damaged in a fire but many are still in good shape.

The problem is that I am on the west coast (California) and I can't seem to find stores and collector's of postwar items like what is out on the east coast. Does anyone know of anyone out in California. I am a little nervous about shipping them out without a purchase agreement.

Also, I have a 2222WS set from 1954 in the original boxes (and master carton). The 2530 is the large door version which I am told is a little rare. I am getting conflicting info about this set. Is there a market for this?

Thanks!

Hi Skip,

I'm in California, but you can email me pictures. I'd be happy to help you identify the items. I've sold several of the large door cars. Depending on the condition, they can go for over $500.00
