Hello everyone,
Here is a video of my Ives clockwork number 11, with its tender and a number 51 Hiawatha limited vestibule express passenger car. The set is running on some original Ives banked clockwork track. The term “banked” means that the track has been produced with the ties cut to be in a specific degree and angle so that the set that is running on it will not derail as easily. Think of it as a race track and how the speedway is at an angle. Banked track is a bit of a life saver for these types of engines considering that these clockwork engines don’t really have that much of a speed regulator like electrics do. Also, off to the side is a number Ives 107S semaphore for some scenery. The natural lighting provided a nice opportunity for the set to show off its nice original glossy paint and lithography.
Here are some stills
