    Now this is a real treat!! You don't see 100 year old toy trains actually running because they are behind glass on shelves. Let's see these high-end, high-priced, high-tech locomotives of today do this in 100 years. I doubt they'll be able to move. Ives was a great company. I always loved the "White Ives" set as well as the "Prosperity" set. Thank you so much for this video, I really appreciate your history concerning these featured Ives models. This is now a piece of American history

    My Dad had Lionel Standard Gauge growing up and my grandfather decided he was never having any grandsons (-maybe two years before I was born: SURPRISE!!!) and sent them to some cousin of mine over in Germany.
    Two Problems:
    1) He forget to send the tender with the locomotive.
    2) He forgot the Lionel transformer was incompatible with their electric service.
    -So whether you measure it in inches or centimeters, I doubt those trains ever moved one of either of 'em once they got there!
    Years later we bought Dad an LGB starter set to make up for his loss!
    (I mean: Perfect! - we brought trains FROM Germany for him!)

    Maybe I shouldn't be but I'm continually amazed at how many of these pre-WW2 (AND pre-WW1!) trains have survived to the present day. I guess people just loved them too much to let them die in trash cans or wartime scrap drives.
    Thanks Leonard!

      Prior generations saved a lot of things and pass them down to different generations today not so much

      @@vintage-model-trains True, and we could have a WHOLE big discussion on that topic! Sufffice to say so many things made today are quite frankly made to be disposable.
