wondering were on the internet or on here i could find out wat my train is worth and were best place to sell it

depending on the age and type of train, here are a couple of sites to look up price. Just remember, this is the Asking Price . IT is only worth what someone will pay for it.
Ebay.

The 18311 EP-5 loco from 1994 was part of a “set” that consisted of the 19723 caboose and Hi-Cube boxcars cataloged from 1991 to 1996:
1991 - 19241 (135/190) and 19242 (125/160)
1992 - 19245 (39/47) and 91246 (39/47)
1993 - 19256 (27/34), 19261 (31/33), and 19262(31/33)
1994 - 18311 (260/360), 19723 (50/65), 19264 (31/35), and 19265 (37/40)
1995 - 19270 (36/40) and 19271 (44/46)
The numbers in parentheses are values for excellent/new condition as shown in Greenberg’s Pocket Price Guide for 2005. They represent average sales prices as reported from sales at spring/summer 2003 train shows. Internet auction prices generally are lower, while dealer prices generally are higher. If you sell to a dealer, you should expect to receive about half the listed values.
The 1991 cars are considered more valuable because they did not appear in a regular catalog and are less common than the others. Your “set” could be more valuable than the sum of the individual prices if you manage to find a Disney collector. However, you are missing the two final cars to the “set”, 19280 (-/32) and 19281 (-/45), cataloged in 1996.
The 9660 (36/50) was part of modern Lionel’s first Disney set. It’s considerably smaller than the Hi-Cubes and (IMO) wouldn’t look good running with them.
The 16686 (35/45) animated boxcar from 1995 was a separate item and not considered part of the Hi-Cube set.
chris thank you very much
any takers make offer on everything
You might do better selling them to a Disney venue. While I’m sure some guys who’re into trains might like what you have, you’ll find many more rabid Disney types at a Disney forum or auction site.
Good luck!
