IVES Standard Gauge Set with #3241 Electric Locomotive & #184 Buffet & #186 Observation Passenger Car. It belonged to her grandfather and she received it in this condition. It has been on her garage shelf for a number of years. She has no train enthusiasts in her family. So, I told her I would try to find it a home where it would be appreciated and hopefully be restored. That is all we know. It comes in its original box which is not in very good shape. It comes with #3241 Electric Locomotive #184 Buffet #186 Observation Passenger Car 5 pieces of track 2 Brackets 2 Switch plates? Switch Tower Signal Transformer in original box. Plugged it in and it hummed. Set appears to be pretty much in original condition. This was difficult to pack safe and securely because it is so fragile. I have packed the train set in its Original box by itself. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS before purchasing and we will try to answer them to the best of our ability. Smoke Free – Pet Free Home. PLEASE LOOK AT ALL PICS BEFORE PURCHASING. Item must be in the EXACT condition as when it left our possession.
