I've posted a photo of the last two trains at photobucket.com. Here's the link http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo106/rohonda_01/DSCF0034.jpg

These last two have proven to be more elusive. But, after doing a fair amount of searching, I've found a photograph of the AT&SF 105 locomotive in a box on ebay. Coincidentally the photograph on the box itself appears to be of the Reading 2000. So, based on that, these last two appear to be 2-8-0 Consolidation. The box says "Classic Collector's Series." I can't find anything more on them than that.

I've understood from the beginning that these locomotives might not be worth much, but I wanted to make sure. I'd hate to find out that I'd gotten rid of them for nothing and that they were valuable after all.

For the time being, I think they're going to stay right where they've always been. Personally, I've always enjoyed just looking at them. In fact, I built them their own custom display shelf where they've sat for these many years. (Yes, I've tried my hand at woodworking.)

And, Jay, thanks for telling me about the actual locomotives. Particularly the Pennsy K4. I've been to the Strasburg museum and apparently saw the real thing. Whaddyuh know?

Thank you Jay. They're all steam locomotives and I don't remember for sure, but I'm guessing they were bought 15, maybe 20, years ago at most. I'm actually making some progress on this. It suddenly occurred to me that the number on the side of the locomotive might not just be there for the fun of it (duh). So far, I've used the numbers to locate 3 Bachmanns and I've discovered that 2 of the others are not Bachmann. The Bachmanns so far are:

2-6-0 Mogul & Tender - New York Central 1905
K4 4-6-2 Pacific (Pre-War with Slat Pilot) - Pennsylvania 5475
4-4-0 American & Tender - Union Pacific 119

The colors on the last one do not match the picture on the Bachmann or Walthers sites. Every other detail matches. What might that mean? (It's definitely a Bachmann - it says so on the bottom.)

Thanks again for your response. The reference to Walthers is helpful.

Now, two more to go....

I have a small collection (7-8) of Bachmann locomotives that were my husband's. He has passed away and I'm considering selling them. The problem is I can't figure out how to identify them to figure out what they might be worth. Is there some identifying number or something located on them somewhere? They're all HO. One has "Spectrum by Bachmann" on it. The only other thing I can find is where they were made:  Hong Kong, China or Macao. Of course, there are also the railroad names.

I figure you are the experts...who better to ask?

I'd really appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks.
