Here is a fun and colorful set from the Lionel-Ives transition era.
The engine is pure Lionel
And the cars are Ives design with Lionel livery
Here you can see their lineage
I wanted to show a video of the set running. I have to say that the latch coupler can be a trial of a person's patience. I adjusted and readjusted more times than I can tell you, and I couldn't get them to stay coupled. I finally resorted to something I would have done when I was 10. I used rubber bands to hold them together. Lets just say they are attempts to model air hoses. I am sure you will be able to see them in the video.
