Popular steam locomotives and limited edition releases typically command higher wholesale values.

Using our email address knightstemplartoys@gmail.com will be the easiest way to send photos. If you could provide images of your collection, we can work from there to get a quote. If you have an itemized list of your items that would even be better.

Contact us directly - we'd be happy to take your entire model train collection off your hands. We'll come to you and remove everything at once, so you don't have to worry about sorting through individual pieces or finding multiple homes for different items. This ensures your collection goes to people who will appreciate and care for these trains rather than ending up discarded or in a landfill. Give us a call and we can usually schedule a pickup within a few days to help you clear out the space.
No, we do not purchase complete train layouts, train tables, or assembled train sets. We focus exclusively on purchasing individual model trains, locomotives, rolling stock, and related accessories. If you have a layout you're looking to sell, you're welcome to remove the individual trains and offer those to us separately, but we cannot accommodate pickup or purchase of complete layout systems.
