Surplus Items For Sale
(last updated October 8, 2023)

From time to time, I post on these pages surplus items I have for sale. This is generally because I have a duplicate that is in equal or better condition.

In addition, I am selling hundreds of other items from people who contacted me for help selling their collections, including two very large estate collections. Most of the items are American Flyer and Plasticville, but there are also some HO, N, Z, and O Scale items.

For reference purposes, I show an estimated book value for each item, adjusted for condition; for American Flyer items, these are based on the Greenberg Guide and TM Guide, and for Lionel items, the Greenberg Guide. For items from other manufacturers, I provide prices given to me by members of one of my train clubs or what I can find on the Internet. But these should not be interpreted as firm, fixed prices. Make me an offer I can't refuse!

If you are interested in buying an item shown here, or in trading for something on my Wish List, email me: theupstairstrain@gmail.com. Please include your mailing address so I can calculate shipping charges and send you an invoice with the total.

Shipping cost will be actual cost via Priority Mail, or First Class mail (for small, light items), and I will happily ship items together to minimize shipping costs. I ship purchases in excess of $10.00 insured unless you accept full liability for loss or damage in shipment. I prefer payment by personal check or ZellePay to theupstairstrain@gmail.com, but will accept Venmo to @BobGravesTrains.

As much as I would like to provide pictures on my website for sets and the more interesting items, it is impractical to provide pictures of everything because there are so many items and because things keep flying off the shelves! For items not pictured here, pictures are available on request.

I recently acquired five playsets that could be incorporated into a train layout, or enjoyed by themselves as originally intended by the manufacturer, or simply held as cherished collectibles. All contain vehicles and buildings, and the farm set contains people, animals, and other things you'd find on a farm. The highlight is the rare Dukes of Hazzard set. All are 1:64 S scale, but the barn and Volvo warehouse are large enough to be at home on an O scale layout. Three are brand new in the original boxes. The other two lack the original boxes but are in TCA Like New condition. Click here for pictures and further information.
