The 1110 is a scout with a broken marker light and bent cab roof. It dates to around 1950. You can look here for details.

The 8625 is a starter set quality modern era locomotive.

 

IMHO, neither of these locomotives have any real value. If I had them out for sale at a local train show, I might ask $15 each after they had been serviced

 

The 1664 is a prewar locomotive, made somewhere in the late 1930's to 1942. I'd have to look up the exact year, and the variations. I think I sold a decent, fully serviced 1664 with a whistling tender (also serviced) for around fifty dollars.

 

Prices do vary quite a bit by location.

C.W. is right on the money.

 

That particular 8625 came from sets harking back to around the mid-1980s to around 1990, although that number has been recycled on a couple of other modern-era locomotives.  It has a horizontally-mounted can motor that was wired for DC use only (original set came with a DC power pack, so that's what would have to be used or the engine would have to be modified with a bridge rectifier to make it work with regular AC O gauge transformers).  I believe it originally came with a Pennsy-marked, 2046-derived streamlined tender modified during the MPC-era to resemble an oil tender that was commonly used in the Rio Grande Black River/Heavy Iron & similar sets of the time, although I don't recall what cars came with this particular engine or what the catalog # of the set was. 

 

 

I think 1938 was when the 1664 was first offered; 1942 for the final year is correct.
