Got a box of junk Lionel laying around taking up space? Boxes of parts? We might be able to do business! Big Jack’s Trains always has a need for junk trains.

We buy the stuff no one else wants or is willing to work on. Remember, our main business is restorations, so we always need non-commissioned projects and parts donors.

Tinplate and diecast locomotives, rolling stock and tenders only! We do not buy collections or estates. We do not buy anything made after 1959. We do not buy plastic locomotives or rolling stock of any era. We do not buy track, buildings, or other accessories.

Pricing varies per piece on a case-by case basis. If you have a locomotive you want restored and a bunch of junk you need to get rid of, we do offer significant discounts on our services for trade-ins.
