So to conclude: Locos and rolling stock in good condition have the potential to achieve around 50% of their original value (adjusted for inflation), which could be a little more for rarer items, a little less for common ones, model buildings are worth around a quarter of their original value providing you can find a buyer, carefully retrieved common points are worth a couple of quid each and track sections will earn their postage. The seemingly low value of your railway may come as a bit of a shock, but that's because its value to you is the time, love and expertise you have invested to produce the layout as a whole, and once it has been broken up to sell, all of that sadly disappears. But try not to be too disheartened, model railways may not be the latest and greatest in profit-making, but they do provide you with years of entertainment, and that simply cannot be valued!
