Weekend tinplate photos /videos 10/4/18!

With the recent arrival of three additional Ives standard gauge freight cars, I can now operate an 8-car Ives freight train. A photo and a pair of videos attached. The 3242 engine has a nice heavy cast iron frame, so it has a good amount of pulling power. The second video captures a little wheel slip as the 3242 starts up with the heavy load. Enjoy.

You guys are killing with these!!! I really want one but just haven’t been able to pull the trigger.  Do you run them on occasion or just display them?

Hello Fellow Tinplaters...nice stuff everyone. Glad to see El Classico posting again.

I believe these cabeese and boxcar fell under the same category, at least they share a common frame.
