I would have to say that the value is relative to the buyer. It may be worth more to you, someone who obviously has great taste in nostalgic trains, than someone who is just looking to purchase a classic item for their kid's trainset.
To answer the question more definately, however, I have seen them on Ebay with starting bids of $10.00 or so and going for upwards of $40.00. I have also seen them getting no bids at all. Of course, having it in it's original box is a plus so you will always get a few dollars more just for that. I hope that I helped answer your question.
Happy railroading!

I think that you did. I will say that it is getting rarer to find them in undamaged boxes. More often then not they have the box but no inserts. Enjoy!
