I just put some old "Silver Streak" trains for sale on ebay. SOme of them are in excellent condition while the others require work.

Also, I found an old steam locomotive in a box labelled UNION PACIFIC 5000. The bos is a JOHN ENGLISH Model Trains box. Also, this locomotive needs work.

BOttom line is I just want to get the stuff out of the house but what are they worth?

That kind of stuff is hard to price. Put 'em up on eBay and start them at $1.00 and see what happens.

Or, try our For Sale forum. Offer them to the first person who offers to pay postage.
