Walthers Junk?

I'd be interested but not going to York.  You'd have to ship to Indiana is your willing.

@Dennis Holler, Just to be clear, this isn't in the For Sale Forum - I'm trying to understand what it is I have here to properly identify for possible sale at York.

These cars are in need of lots of help. I would say 10 dollars each for parts. Trucks and coupler would be most useful.

@J Daddy, definitely agree the value is mostly in the parts, especially the brass and cast components, including the trucks and couplers.

This kind of stuff is what I give away on this forum. I just ask for postage. My opinion? It's not worth the time to sell it and I would rather give it to someone that would make it good again. I just gave away a Lionel set of F-3 shells. A-B-A 2343. Last week I gave away a huge box of new Williams passenger car parts including enough to put at least three cars together. These were the ones that came as a kit. There were maybe twenty trucks in the box. Just my opinion but I would rather have someone that would made them run again than sit in a box. Don

Based on prior experience at O scale shows, $5.00 each would be pushing the envelope.

Is it O Gauge or HO gauge?

@eddie g, These are O Gauge.

If there is a a car in that box that is prototypical for one's railroad that has not been produced by one of the importers, you might just buy it and use it as a placemarker on your railroad while you wait forever for Mike or Lionel to make it. In that box, The 50' round roof boxcar looks like something that should fit that bill for someone to give some TLC. It is a Pennsylvania prototype and also an N&W prototype as well as others. It doesn't look too bad for the Seaboard, either. I have 2 in brass at $150 a pop but if I did not have those, I'd jump on this one and fix it up.

I am in agreement - I collect older stuff of slightly higher quality.  Best to find a young kid who loves trains, and say "here".

DKDKRD, I agree. I love old building kits. The reason most of those wonderful companies have gone out of business is no one wants to build things anymore. I started building StromBecker wood airplanes in the early 50's. You got the wood parts, a little piece of sand paper, a packet of powder you mixed with water to make the glue and a decal set. You had to hand brush paint. I still remember the smell of the pine parts when you opened the box. When the plastic models came out I switched to them. It's in my blood to build kits. I collect every old building kit I can find. It's the favorite part of trains for me. Don

Certainly take it to York. Many people love that kind of stuff, especially true modelers.

Can't see it being worth much in its apparent condition, but guys like me like stuff like that. I'm choosy about it, of course, but there is real, if modest, value there. Trucks can be hi-railed (wheel sets/couplers are around), details can be used elsewhere, cars can be fixed and used. And enjoyed precisely because they were junk-ish at one time. 

But "junk" and "Walthers"? Well, certainly anything will eventually become junk, and your inventory does look rough, but I don't connect the 2 words.
