These are really nice cars. Lionel never made the 1707 cattle or stick car in this size. The last car in your series of photos is a put together using a gondola body and a roof from a caboose. Never came that way. You can locate an Ives small steamer to go with the cars. Lionel also labeled a small steamer to go with these or the Lionel cars.

What is this thread about ?
that's what I was wondering....
I think he was just sharing his admiration for the Ives/Lionel transition rolling stock.
Maybe some pictures of what he’s talking about might help.
On one of these threads a while ago I think Papa Steve matched up a 1717 with a roof to make a covered hopper. I don't have the time at the moment to find it but it is back there somewhere.
In any case. thanks for sharing your thoughts with us REPAIRPARTSMAN. We are always glad to have another participant in the tinplate forum.
