Anyone know anything about model trains?

When my grandfather passed away last year he left everything to my 2 brothers and I. One of the larger things we were left was his model trains. We've got everything from trains, vehicles, buildings, track. I've been tasked to getting it all sold. I know people on here have a lot of hobbies, figure it's worth a shot to see if there are any experts on here. Trying to figure out the best way to get all this sold.

The toy train market is way down in price. Good news is its always up around Christmas and a few months after. My dad has a large collection and most I got for him as I have been a picker buying and selling all types of antiques for the last 20 years. He has talked of selling his lately and my suggestion was to put them in a GOOD well established auction or auction company. Not one of the ones where they sell cookies, apples and antiques either. Find one that well know for getting good or high prices for there stuff and just does antiques. Theres always Ebay to but the prices on there are way down right now I truly feel a on site auction would be better at least in my area and at the end of the day its all sold gone and done with as ebay can take a while. I sell on ebay also so if you go that route and need any tips let me know. What gauge are the trains I am just curious. Also I see your in Winchester thats a good antique area should be a decent auction around.

Everything we've got is all HO scale. We do have a large RR following here so that should make it easier. I'd like to sell as much in bulk as possible, as we need to get them sold to settle out the final bits of the estate. I've found a few local places I'm going to get in touch with.
