Do you mean whether to use them or sell them?

Welcome, if you have the space then utilising them would be good.
Selling on *bay may not produce the expected level of funds as some things sell for less even though they look identical. Selling en-masse to a dealer will produce quick funds with only a little effort, but will show the smallest returns in most cases.

Hello,
Probably pass them on to an enthusiast.

If you visit a local model railway club I'm sure you'll find enthusiastic recipients 
Take a few along and see what they say - it can't hurt anything and you may be surprised by how valuable some of the collections is.
If you list one or two of the items here, (not for sale of course #rule5#) but to get an opinion on what they are and how to dispose of them (or to keep them).

Welcome to the forum. It would be useful to know how old these models are - perhaps some model numbers if you have them (Hornby R****).

You could find out the the prices by searching ebay sold section. simples. Enter the make and model number and the prices are before your eyes. Do not offer them for sale here until you have followed the forum rules or the thread will be removed.

EDL 1 is either a Hornby Dublo 3-rail loco, or a two rail Sir Nigel Gresley.wlracing wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2019 9:34 am1950s in box , Model numbers on box EDL 1 ( locomotive) & D1 tenderbulleidboy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2019 9:12 am Welcome to the forum.

A picture of the underside would help determine which. They both seem to have the same number.
Is the box red or blue?
