Reply to "Help with an Ives Standard Gauge Engine"

The Clem Clement is the best expert on Ives (He wrote the Greenberg book on Ives). Ives paint was terrible and didn't hold up. Not only was the paint of poor quality the detail paint around the windows was smeared. My guess is that the trim on your windows is at best is a touch up, it looks too good to be original. Mechanically they were great.
