Any amateur Lionel train collectors here?

[SintonFan]

I'm trying to figure out the value of a bunch of pre-WWII American Flyer/Lionel train accessories for a good friend. I haven't done much of this before. Google has helped some, but I was curious if any of you might know where some decent online appraisers(who would know about collectible trains) might be. Any help would be appreciated.:)

I didn't know about the train musuem in Texas City. Cool!:)
I'm gonna look up the number to the one in Galveston.

I got a call back from a dealer in SA and all they told me is that "they are definately interested." I'll take that as a good sign there might be some value to this stuff.

Thanks West22. :)
