me want to stay either. Personally I find it kind of disorienting.

| Hello lego fans.
New to the forum and would appreciate some advice please.
I have over the years accumulated lots of 12v classic track for a layout I will
soon start building.
Wasn't apparent unit I just cleaned all the track the various degrees of
colour discolouration.
Sleepers are ok, just the rails.
Any recommendations on how I can clean all the track and preserver the original
colour.
Picture of two of the trains and some wagons.
Cheers,
Ed.

Most supermarkets in the U.S. will accept plastic bags for recycling—including
resealable baggies (someone correct me if I am wrong).
You also could try to find someone local who will take them, as it's generally
cheaper to buy new ones than to ship them somewhere.

This is especially true if you get to know that some rare parts are going to
be used in a large project that may end-up in a show, museum or make a simple
builder proud of his creation !

| Thanks for all the replies everyone, I really appreciate all of the help.
If I was to sell the parts individually, is there an easy way to tell what era
the bricks are from, or is it best to give a rough guess? As I mentioned in the
first post almost all of the bricks are older than me, so I'm not so confident
that I'll be able to distinguish the eras by myself.
Also is there a way to find a fair price for older pieces, since the 6 month
sale average will be mostly newer bricks, or should I try to come up with prices
myself?
Thank you again for all the advice everyone, it means a lot to me!

| I have decided to open my store again which specialises in part kits and spares
and or repairs items.
My headline offer is the original space shuttle (8480) in fair condition and
with about 98% of parts, all motors worked when I dismantled it as did fibre
optics.
If you need any obscure parts send me a message, star wars, city, technic, thousands
of mainly small parts.
enjoy the shop if you visit, all parts not inventoried due to there being so
many, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it.

| The only way you can know what set a common part comes from is if it's assembled
with at least 2 other parts (see https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp?viewMulti=Y
). My current LEGO bin contained several small assemblies I've been able
to attribute to specific sets, mostly ones I'd already identified. It helped
with the process of sorting parts between sets.
In General, stearns writes:
| | I do it like that too - I try to find rare pieces in the heap, stickered ones,
figures and others that only came in one set, and try to collect the parts for
those sets. Then fill up partial sets I already have. The rest I sell as separate
bricks, I don't think there's a (reasonable) way to find out where they
came from, unless you know the sets very well yourself.

as well. No luck for my current bin, almost devoid of any minifig.

have to come up with a whole different sorting system to separate the parts for
sale and the parts I keep for future builds.

All true, but the OP's store already has parts listed for sale.
At the very least it's a good idea, if completing the sets is difficult,
to separate out the minifigs before trying to sell the parts in one batch.
