I'm sure I'll get outgunned by my reply but:
top middle is a 9 volt track connection wire. It's available from S@H for
5.99 (#5305)
top left are two buffers, couplers, one with and one without the magnet; the
complete pair is S@H 2.99 (#5303)
left middle is a buffer popular on the battery tender of the 4.5 trains like
7715, 7720, etc.
left bottom are 4.5 volt track ties
right top is a 4.5 volt style wheel set, part of several trains like 7722.
bottom are (left to right) straight, outer curve and inner curve 4.5 volt
track. The curved track was available at the Virginia Lego outlet the last
time I looked, and would consist of 8 inner, 8 outer and I think 17 ties?
(set 7851) which could sell on eBay for $10 a box.
Good luck on your auction.
