Worth is what you sell it for. I is a nice find and probably worth something. What is the company ? Is it in good condition and does it have the towers to suspend it. The towers would be the attraction. The item would onlye be good for a GG-1 a classic engine or maybe a trolley. I have not seen too many layouts with the overhead wire. I am afraid e bay may be your only recourse unless you find a specific price guide. Show a picture.
