Hi Chris, welcome to the forum.

The value of your trains would depend very much on their condition, but it could be quite a bit depending on model, whether you have the original boxes, etc.

The wiring also depends on whether you have any electrically operated points and accessories.

Would you be able to post photos of your trains etc in this forum? If you need help there is a "how to" here:

Chris, regarding pics; I´ve always found it very useful to use www.maj.com; It´s a free site with unlimited space for storing ones pics, texts and videos online. It´s relatively free from spam (no popups) and allow deep linking to forums like this one.

If you have all the boxes and things are in great shape, it might be worth it for you to get a copy of Koll´s handbook. (maybe it´s only in German?) -to get an overview of the value you have on your hands... -or at least search Ebay for similar articles, to get an idea of street value.
Best regards
