Re: 1962 rare athearn model train

Hi Mindy. i got your pix. I couldn't read the writing much, but got the idea that it was special for an association or civic group. Perhaps one your dad belonged to in life.

I suspect that if you sell, you should offer it to this association's members.

Sorry to say that while it is a nice Athearn set, the greatest value may be the "nostalgia" value. I'd offer only $35.00

Re: 1962 rare athearn model train

Thank you so much! This was one I wouldn't ever get rid of...it was always special to my daddy! I just always wondered why. I have probably 200 or so sets I am keeping for my two boys, but I think I will have to keep this one forever...even if it was worth thousands! Thank you so much for looking into this for me....I appreciate it! Merry Christmas to you!
