This product is a vintage Pre-War Ives Wide Gauge Electric Locomotive from around 1922, with cars and track included. The locomotive, manufactured by IVES/ Lionel engine in the United States, operates on a wide gauge track and is themed around transportation. It is a rare find for collectors and hobbyists interested in model railroads and trains, specifically from the pre-war era. This is not my set. This unit is very heavy. The engine is made out of partial cast-iron.
