I have a lionel train that is still in the box that was given to me when i was a little boy. i have no ideal if it is worth anything or if it is a good model. will someone please let me know what you think

My book (old book 2004) says $65.00 for excellent condition.

That would vary a bit with actual condition and market conditions.

Worst case scenario, here or Ebay would probably fetch 1/2 that if in decent shape.

Charlie has lots of money he's looking to spend.
