I would say good condition I would start with a company called TRAINZ.COM. Send them an inventory list, maybe a few pics., and they will respond with an offer. It will likely be a "low ball" type offer but it will either be a starting point that you can move on from, or you can accept, send them the trains, and about 30 days later, they send you a check for the agreed offer. EBAY is another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea on worth? one on EBay for over $7,000 They made a lot of American Flyer trains, they are still easy to find, and unfortunately no where near $7000. Sort on the sold items on ebay, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is like your train; it sold for $280 in "appears like it was never used" condition. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMERICAN-FLYER-MISSOURI-PACIFIC-MODEL-TRAIN-SET-6-49601-STILL-IN-ORIGINAL-BOX-/292388262793?hash=item4413b2d389%3Ag%3AnQkAAOSwuhFaRj-6&nma=true&si=pVcxSBBbOIaFDKW3tX2stFrJGZs%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One went for $475 (looks incomplete but had 4 passenger cars and 2 locomotives) One went for something less than $2,250 (seller accepted best offer) One went for $4,700. Keep doing searches at Ebay. Click "advanced" and enter your search terms, then be sure to click the "sold "box. What is relevant is seeing what people actually got for something comparable to what you have. Asking prices for anything on Ebay are meaningless. There are people asking insane prices for all kinds of things, but they aren't selling at those prices.
