While I try to limit the American Flyer portion of my collection to pieces in original paint, I will stray when it comes to the products of other manufacturers. Here is an example from Ives.
This is a representation of Ives' Knickerbocker set from 1930 with one extra 133 Pullman. The 4 passenger cars came in one purchase. The seller did the repaints and claimed that the cars had originally been in these colors.
The #3261 engine was a separate purchase which I believe is in its original paint.
Before I found the engine I paired the cars with a #3251. (1924 -1928)
I really like the black and red color combination.
Could there be a Black Diamond in my future?
