Big Hauler is a name for a series of products, the price of these varies a lot, you would need to post a photograph, or go onto ebay and look for one that is the same, The value will depend on how fixable the fault is/

There have been at least five variations on the "Big Hauler" trainset locomotive, commencing with the radio control set from circa-1989 with plastic loco drive wheels up to the current day. The early sets (prior circa-2000) are not worth very much as the loco drivetrain was problematic. Best advice would be to search eBay or Google to find similar sets and then do a completed search of listings for that particular set on eBay. This will give you an idea as to what the items sold for.

Barring that a model shop may offer you a pittance to take it off your hands. Do not anticipate a windfall though which ever way you choose to dispose of it.
