Welcome to MLN Trains! Looking to sell your trains? Use the contact form to contact us about your trains.  We buy, collect and sell old Trains.  We are most interested in buying POST WAR Lionel trains and accessories made between the years of 1946 to 1969.   


We have decades of experience in appraising the value and condition of older Lionel items. We have the most interest in PostWar Lionel Trains but are willing to consider all trains. PostWar Era Lionel trains were made in America during the postwar years from 1946-1969.



At MLN Trainswe resurrect old trains and connect them with collectors and enthusiasts.  We do so through our network of contacts, train shows and online sources.

Shortly after Christmas most people have packed up and put away their toy trains. Some of these stored trains will return next December, while others may not emerge from their storage ever again. Check through our blog postings for how to awaken your long slumbering trains.
