Red Std. Gauge Tinplate #1134 Ives Steamer - Traditional

This sleek steamer defines the quiet elegance of the Tinplate Traditions line. The Ives #1134 is one of the largest Standard Gauge steam locomotives ever. The 1134 was patterned after the Baltimore & Ohio's 4-4-0 President Washington, but the wheel designation chosen on the model was 4-4-2.

The styling of the engine captured the very essence of American steam engines, but the lack of purity in the castings of the original Ives releases threatened the lifespan of the beautifully crafted locomotive. With its stamped steel body, baked enamel finish and metal wheels and axles, durability is not a problem for this M.T.H. model.

Did You Know?

The early #1134 Ives Steamer had its bell behind the smokestack rather than mounted on the boiler front as it is today.
