Hello all,

My father passed away recently and among his personal items is a collection of Marklin Z-gauge trains, track and various accessories. While I could just put them on eBay, I'd much rather they went to someone who'd appreciate them. Failing that, any advice on selling items like these would be welcomed.

The full list is here; one or two don't have ID numbers that I can find. Almost everything is in its original packaging (my dad was a stickler for keeping the boxes!) but I can't verify how well anything works.

A bit of research indicates that the items above are selling currently for a range from a few pounds for the track pieces, to a few tens of pounds for some of the waggons and accessories, to a couple of hundred for items 88713, 87456, 87354 and 8185. However I appreciate these may be for new items rather than secondhand.

Either any interest in buying, or any advice on selling, would be appreciated! I'm potentially willing to drive within about a 50-mile radius of southwest London to deliver.

With a bit more time I can add photos (can you add photos to a post on this forum?)

Thanks for reading,
Tim Clarke
