Not to discourage you or anything, but you might want to know that this is
already being done by Dwayne Towell, and I believe he purchased something
like 10 sets.
See his auctions here:

Also, if you scroll down in this newsgroup, you'll find a message from John
Neal selling train parts by the dozen.
Of course, there always seems to be a market for Lego :) So it's up to you
if you want to try it.
