as post title.
I've got a few Horby Dublo trains (passed down through the family)

nearly all boxed and all mint condition.

would they be worth anything?
or where can i find out about the 'classic' Hornby Train stuff to get an idea of value.

looking in model shops now you can get the same style trains and carages as i have.... (but new) and they seem to be £70+ for just the train!

tnx

e-Bay will tell you!!

Pete

 

Totaly worthless I will but the lot off you for £2.50 if you pay the postage!!!!

 

As Pete says check ebay, mint/boxed 60's Dublo stuff goes for mad money. The later Wrenn versions of the same stuff seems to fetch a bit less.

Editted to say, can someone get me a doctor, I've just agreed with Pete

 

Aye, another vote for getting it properly valued.

The metal bodied Wrenn engines can make good money.

 

was worth a try...

I know it is valuable, or certian items of it are, but not sure of the exact value...

 

I'll keep looking at prices now... think some one was pulling a fast one offering £250 the lot!

You could take it into a model shop and ask them what it's worth.

Some dublo stuff is worth silly money.

A Hornby Dublo collection in mint condition is worth hundreds per item, especially for the later diesel and electric loco,s which now seem to go for well in excess of £100 each. Best bet is to do some research on the particular items on ebay comleted listings. Alternatively there is a model train collectors book called Ramseys which for about a tenner will give you a fair idea of what each individual item is worth . Model shops don't usually offer much for second hand collections - akin to a lot of car traders, but you can guarantee they will put in the window at the true price.
Big G who posts on here sells train stuff on ebay so may be worth speaking to him.

 

the model shop guy offered a px on NEW trains that look just the same!!! lol
