I have also had good luck with trains on ebay. A dealer or middleman will take a sizeable cut.
Just take good pics and put them on ebay. Train nuts know what is what, so you don't have to describe them all that well or in great detail, just condition and size.

I (we with my two boys) have started our adventure as of 6 months ago and they both count the days of the week waiting for the weekend to go and do “our” thing. Thanks to this site http://tinyurl.com/ModelTrainsBeginnersR , staff, site and books, I was able to quickly get up to speed on the latest technologies and techniques without spending days if not weeks on the web to look for it (and most likely not finding all that you have provided).
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this hobby is still so active since I have not touched my boxes of trains since packing up the layout my father did with me in 1975. I can only imagine the hours needed to keep up with all of what you are doing and I salute you in your mission.
My two boys are saved from the video game frenzy for now but its up to the parents and grandparents of this generation to help the next generation. This site help us do what we can do better and we all have fun and at the same time educate our children…

Well, this is kind of in the Chicago area but you could probably find a solid buyer on the world's biggest garage sale, eBay. Best of luck.
