Need help

Hello everyone!
I know nothing about trains, my dad left me this train set when
he passed. I have no idea how to hook it up or if it even works.
I'm also trying to find out the value. Any help is appreciated!
Here's the pics

Stuntmanmike,
Welcome to the forum!
Your father left you some nice Post War trains & accessories,
Mainly Lionel, but I do see a nice tinplate Marx Glendale
station
and windup train track switches.
The following links will help you identify the individual pieces
and
give you some idea of value. You might also check the completed
auction prices on the online auction sites.

Yeah, the postwarlionel.com website is what I use when finding
some old trains.
