    I got this set in a box of O27 Track. After I clean them up, what do you think they'll be worth? I'm guessing there's around 20 curves and around 10 straights including the terminal track. I also have the cross track so the set makes a figure 8. The transformer is original (though I'm not quite sure how it works). I also have a complete spool of cloth wire. I also have a handful of little aluminum squares. What are they? Are they some kind of track clip or something?

    well...it is and it isn't Lionel....you have Ives track there. Lionel and American Flyer bought out Ives in 1928, Lionel bought out American Flyer in 1930, and Ives was completly gone by 1933. Ives developed O27....and I have no idea what the value of Ives track is, but I would not clean it up, you might kill it's value. You have track that is at least 80 years old.
