As far as I can tell there is nothing in that lot that is rare or desirable. They are not in pristine condition. The best way to sell the collection is in one lot by auction on eBay (or similar market place). Be honest in the description - "not tested, sold as is!" That is my opinion. Kimball

I would suggest there must be at least 50 Euro value at least in that selection, possibly a bit more. That's not to be sneezed at. You'll get a nice dinner at least :-) Someone here may offer, otherwise ebay etc. Good luck.

The metal station building would also have some value if the missing parts can be found; perhaps someone with proper skills could salvage it even from this condition. The railroad crossing can go to metal recycling.

Too bad so many parts are missing. In good condition Blumenau is a very nice station. Marco Someone setting out to restore the station may be able to get replacement sprues from Faller. You would need the instruction manual to find the sprue numbers and then enquire of Faller if they happen to have spares of those sprues that could be purchased. Alternatively if it is mostly just roof pieces that are missing, something could be fashioned out of embossed card by a suitably enthusiastic modeller.

I bought a couple of such (larger) M collections and had a good time checking and cleaning (and updating). I also curated marklin gifts like this and the group sold some pieces. In case of doubt, donate (or gift to a user group member for shipping cost). Ben

		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.
