Value & valuation
Lima no longer exists as an independent producer (acquired and discontinued), which automatically makes vintage models rarer. Italian collectors are willing to pay well for Lima FS locomotives in good condition. Complete starter sets in original boxes are sought-after by nostalgia collectors. The older and rarer the model, the higher the potential return.
