Bradeen Auctions
Tennyson Estate & Guests are auctioning a '14 Ford Taurus, Lionel Train Collection, Everett Piano, furniture, and kitchen equipment on January 2, 2026, at three locations in Custer, SD.
The first train-focused event on the calendar closes at the end of this week, with Richard Opfer Auctioneering Inc. wrapping up its Estate Train Auction on December 29, 2025. Bidders can expect a varied lineup of model rail pieces, ranging from classic Lionel locomotives to mid‑century regional sets. The auction is being conducted online, allowing collectors from across the country to place bids in real time, and the catalog highlights several rare items that have been stored in private collections for decades.
Following that, the Tennyson Estate & Guests auction scheduled for 2026 will feature a standout Lionel train set among its offerings. While the broader sale includes furniture and other household goods, the train segment is drawing particular attention from hobbyists who track the market for high‑quality rolling stock and track accessories. Organizers have emphasized that the train items will be displayed in a dedicated viewing area, and prospective buyers can submit offers both in‑person and through the auction house’s digital platform.
Both events illustrate a growing trend: model train enthusiasts are increasingly turning to hybrid auction formats that blend traditional live bidding with robust online participation. This shift is expanding the pool of potential buyers, especially younger collectors who prefer the convenience of remote access. Additionally, the emphasis on well‑preserved vintage pieces suggests a market that values historical authenticity and mechanical condition over mere aesthetic appeal.
Overall, the upcoming train auctions signal a healthy appetite for rail‑themed memorabilia, with sellers capitalizing on the heightened visibility provided by digital catalogs and live‑streamed previews. As the year progresses, collectors can anticipate more specialized sales, likely featuring niche brands and rare prototypes that cater to the dedicated model‑rail community.
