My standard gauge Ives (faux) "white set". The originals of this set are of course rather rare, so when I happened across this one last year at the local TTOS meet at a good price, it became an impulse purchase! It was done by James Cohen many moons ago, and the engine and cars he started with weren't really the totally correct versions, but it looks awesome and makes a fun holiday train on the layout. Runs great as well, some videos are included. The lighting on the train layout makes it look a bit more yellow than it is, it looks a bit more like the creamy white of the original in person. MTH also reissued this set, and an excellent web page on the real deal can be found here: http://www.ivestrains.org/CD/w.../htmlfiles/white.htm Enjoy!
