This is a first trial run of a Ives 3216 train set I finally dug out and serviced. This train being manufactured in 1917 is 90 YEARS OLD!! Great train.

  • I received these three passenger cars as a gift and I purchased the engine today on eBay. I plan to make a video with my father-in-law, born in 1916 (going strong) and my set. In our throw-away society, I respect survivors, both trains and persons.

  • What engine did you score and which passenger cars?

  • Thanks for the vid, I have a 3217 and a 3218 and they both still run great with all their original wiring and brushes as well. Just cleaned the motors and all was fine. In regards to the first comment, for pity's sake, what's to restore? This thing looks great! Postwar train guys amaze me!

  • Thanks for the kind comment. Would love to see some vids of your trains :)
