First off, apologies if this isn't in the right place, or even allowed.
Second off, this isn't me trying to list them here, I'm purely asking advise as to how to go about it.

I inherited a large and substantial Hornby Collection, I'd imagine somewhere in the realm of 200 items, from locos, to Pullman carriages and everything else in between. No track, scenery etc

They are all new, in boxes and unopened. I haven't really delved into what's there and have just left them in the loft but with the prospect of reroofing I really must do something with them.

Could anyone offer any advise as to wheres best or how's best to sell such a collection.?

Many thanks in advance.

Is there a local model railway group near you?
I've no idea, that is an avenue I could look into. In all honesty I know nothing of model trains.

Thank you all for the input, food for thought.

I'd completely neglected that toy show, I watched it the other day and nearly fell over when I saw single match box cars fetching 10k

I think the first port of call is to get all the boxes down from the loft and catalogue what's there, then comparatively look on "that" auction site.

Atleast with a 5 month old I have plenty of spare time 🤣
