I don't know if I have anything with significant value here, or just normal stuff. I'm not a collector, and am a bit out of my element here. Any help with values would be greatly appreciated.

Take note that green prices are items that sold, and red prices did not, so the red isn't a great idea of market value. The Rhengold set and locomotive is worth an solid $350-500 assuming nothing is wrong/broken/scratched. The start set and loose cars much less than that

I don't know about it's value (probably not too much) but I think that a collector or someone that it has nostalgical value to might of course be willing to pay more than the average märklinist for it.

The other items are fairly common, but in good shape can still fetch a good price. If selling on Bbay I would recommend selling items separately instead of one large lot. -Brandon

I can't seem to find much info about it. Totally forgot about that. If my memory serves me right, the set can be found in the 95/96 catalouge. Could be +/- a year though. If you want, I can get you a svan of the catalouge pages referring to the set. It would be in Swedish though. Ler me know.

I would say that the loco 3318 is a nice too loco from those times and may bring some bucks if analog runners don't have it. The rest is rather common stuff that you can find at most sale sites...

The only thing that seems to be missing from this set is the instructions. I'm sure the previous owner took them out to read through them at some point after purchasing and they never made it back to the box.
