<p>Hello Steve,</p>
<p>People will likely begin working at the club round 7pm and will break for a meeting round 8:30, so 8pm is probably a good time to visit. Are you stopping by to visit the club or were you hoping to sell some of your items? I ask because it will likely be a busy evening and if you're hoping for everyone to take a look at your models and books tonight may not be the best time to do so.

<p>Hello Steve,</p>
<p>People will likely begin working at the club round 7pm and will break for a meeting round 8:30, so 8pm is probably a good time to visit. Are you stopping by to visit the club or were you hoping to sell some of your items? I ask because it will likely be a busy evening and if you're hoping for everyone to take a look at your models and books tonight may not be the best time to do so. Please feel free to stop by, regardless, but know that people will be distracted with the benchwork construction tasks going on at the club.</p>
<p>If you do plan to visit this evening please let me know, as there's a chance I may need to work late and may not attend, so I'd like to let one of the other members know to expect you. Regards,</p>

<p>Hello Steve,</p>
<p>Train cars are a whole different matter. Do you happen to know the make/brand of the models, or are you able to share a picture of one of the nicer cars? Books can also be interesting, though perhaps less so than the models. Feel free to bring a few samples by the club this Wednesday evening and some of the members can take a look for you.</p>

<p>If you do decide to take the items to the PCR meet you'll want to contact the PCR organizers first, especially if you wish to sell rather than donate the items -- not certain if they allow that. Regards,</p>

<p>My father had HO train cars and a large collection of train books (large format coffee table size). So, if I understand you correctly, I should attempt to bring train cars and books to the Coast Division PCR Meet in SF on Sept 22. </p>

<p>Hello Steve,</p>
<p>Your father's magazine collection may or may not have some monetary value but given the relatively recent publication date I'm guessing it won't be much. I would definitely search ebay and the better-known used book and periodical exchanges to give you some idea what these magazines sell for, but to give you an idea, our club recently recycled a *very* extensive Model Railroader collection dating back to the 1930s, simply because we didn't wish to continue storing it and…</p>
<p>Hello Steve,</p>
<p>Your father's magazine collection may or may not have some monetary value but given the relatively recent publication date I'm guessing it won't be much. I would definitely search ebay and the better-known used book and periodical exchanges to give you some idea what these magazines sell for, but to give you an idea, our club recently recycled a *very* extensive Model Railroader collection dating back to the 1930s, simply because we didn't wish to continue storing it and didn't wish to part with it, piecemeal, on ebay or the like.</p>
<p>Another option may be to haul some small part of the collection to the upcoming PCR meet in September and try to see if there's any interest from the membership: <a href="http://www.pcrnmra.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pcrnmra.org/</a>. I will run your email by the other members of the WBMRA to see if anyone in our club is interested, and will ask them to contact you directly if they are. Regards,</p>
