How/Where to sell brass locomotives?

[eja]

Back in the days when I was still in HO and I had a huge pike running in my head that I knew I would build someday, I purchased two two brass Pennsylvania locomotives.

Well, that day never came.  These locomotives have been sitting on my wall is static display mode ever since I bought them.  My sons have never expressed any interest in model railroading, and I am not getting any younger, so I think it's time to sell them, but I have no idea how to go about this.

They are both Sunset models made in Korea. One is H10 Consolidation purchased from the Whistle Stop in San Diego, CA in December of 1993.  The other is a M1a Mountain purchased from Bill's Brass in Ohio in August 1989.  Both were professionally painted at Reeds's Hobby Shop in San Diego. 

Any suggestions regarding finding a reputable buyer will be greatly appreciated.  If any Railwire folks are interested in them PM me and Ill be happy to provide pictures and additional information.

A fair bit of brass still trades hands on eBay. You can search for completed sales to get an idea of market price. Unfortunately its not a large amount for these two, I suspect the existence of Broadway Limited models has pushed the price down. Examples of both have sold in the $200 range in the past few months. Maybe the paint job helps raise that price, I don't know.

There are dealers who specialize in brass, but I'm sure they'll give you even less for them.

Good luck!
