  • The valuations apply to the sets - which would have been in the photo if there were a way to fit them all onto the layout (and into the shot).
    Prosperity boxed set with set box 100,000
    Boucher 4 car set (best set of cars known) 100,000
    Marklin freight set 75,000
    1930 Olympian boxed set with set box 125,000
    (one of two best sets known)
    Mayflower boxed set with set box 150,000
    (one of two best sets known)
    Lionel 408E Green boxed set with set box 200,000
    (one of two known ivory trim locos - only ivory trim loco set with boxes)
    IVES White 1132 set (only white loco, only white 184 series cars) 200,000
    Dorfan set 50,000
    (only known red trim Florida loco and red trim Florida cars)
    IVES Milk Car 15,000
    TOTAL 1,015,000
    Several of the numbers above are actually less than what John has been offered over the years ( White IVES, 408E, Boucher), but they're what John considers real figures. We at TM agree.

    Good thing standard gauge was built tough enough to handle incidents of this nature.

    From priceless to worthless in one heart-stopping moment.
    This is why I run my trains as originally intended as toys and repair/replace along the way instead of keeping them pristine as collector's items, 'cause this sort of thing inevitably is going to happen and I'm only going to live once.

      I can't imagine the set lost more than $1000 of value

    Luckily, no one was hurt
    Except the people who died on that crash

    You're absolutely right. Just trying to have a little fun. The set that was actually in the photo was a red and cream Dorfan Florida Limited.

    I was testing a new test track with a Lionel 2-4-2 last month and somebody flipped a switch that led to a unfinished part of the line, and the loco ran off at full speed, luckily there was no major damage even though it ran off a 4 foot high counter at full speed and hit a cement floor, now that's quality

    The set that fell off the track (unless I am missing something) is a rather ordinary Ives 3241 with a few Ives freight cars! The set is not worth a great deal and I suspect this was a set-up shot to have a little fun! Don't be too concerned!

    I, too, enjoying running my trains! Here are some essentially like new sets (the Lionel Sets are mine and the Ives 3245R) that i ran a couple years ago after the Pasadena Cal-Stewart meet. I specialize in sets that are in like new condition, and many with original boxes. These were being run on a friends layout.

    if this wasn't a skit, its only a $135.00 loss in its condition. i just looked it up. the nice thing is that sometimes these trains can take a fall like that and continue on. the new plastic trains we have today will just explode (not really.)

    • @keithm5224

    Hi, this is Dr. Martin Folb from Los Angeles. The 8 trains mentioned here are extremely valuable, but certainly not worth a million dollars!! More likely, around $300-$400,000, and in today’s market that would be a push! I paid $253,000 for what is the finest Standard Gauge set in the World: a special order, boxed Lionel 20th Century Limited in near mint condition with the only known #433 Set Box (that as the set number for this set).

    Just saying you should of ran that train alot slower that wouldn't of happoned an you would of had this train with no damage to this say that the problem with alot of train collectors they run there trains way to fast then they can't figure why somthing happons to theme when it does it is always good to keep the transformer set at medium speed an never run any train that fast especially one that old an the valuable thank you.
