The value of a complete Mickey Mouse pewter train set varies by its condition. Sets in mint condition sell for around 50 dollars as of 2014.
Values for model electric trains rise or fall is different economic conditions. Major manufacturers such as Lionel, Marx and American Flyer were steadily manufactured 50 years ago. Not all model trains are valuable. The value of an electric train can be improved by having a popular manufactured train in sell-able condition. Other factors that improve the value are the original box in good condition, as-well-as a working power-supply/transformer. The track itself holds no real value.

It is all about condition. Louis Marx toy company, did not use any particular freight car per set number they were so mass produced that you can see them surface by the hundreds in various conditions ranging in a price range from 1.00 to 25.00, but if you have a complete train set 8994 in mint condition including a mint box with all inserts and all original supplied set parts,track transformer and complete train with mint lithograph, it could fetch up to 300.00 dollars. but i have seen surviving sets in various conditions go for 50.00 to 150.00, in like a c6 condition. that being said it's most valuable if you keep it and enjoy the toy train history that you own. Hope this cleared up you curiosity.
It depends WHICH MArx... Most are Tin, or diecast. The most valuable would be in MINT condition, some of the model Include the TIN friction set (all lithographed multi colored) M10005 set which could have as many as 7 trailing Named City rolling items) also an unusual find is the 1829 engine. Condition is paramount in all cases for Marx trains.

the only value of Franklin Mint items is the silver value. There is no collectors value for Franklin Mint items. Years ago I had a Franklin Mint gold clad coin group. I was told that the Franklin Mint buy them back any time. They neglect to tell you the items must be in mint shape, untouched and they must have a buyer for your items. Otherwise, the mint does NOT buy items back.
