I have this old set of trains that belonged to my grandad, and I wanted to see if they'd possibly be worth anything. Any information helps, thanks!

Welcome! What you have there are typical classic HO trains made by Tyco and Athearn. Nothing rare and sadly they are pretty hammered up. Some folks around here can take stuff like that and make them run again, but judging by their appearance, these have seen their better days.

I reckon they'd fit in a prepaid medium sized box flat rate priority by USPS for about $12 shipping.
I'd put them on eBay as a bundle and start the bidding at $5, no reserve, no BIN. Seven day auction ending on a Sat or Sunday. You might get $10 out of the lot. El Rojo is correct. Nothing special there, but someone might want the locomotive, but on the cheap.
In general, model trains do not have much resell value. Exceptions would include the Lionel Girl Train from the 1950's, mint state.
