Ives big boy electric #3243

Description

Hi fellow collectors out there.  Up for sale is an Ives 3243r with brass plates. The cab has been redone. The trim is original except for pantographs. R unit is long gone. When I rebuilt the motor I wired it for one direction. Motor runs fine. If you have an E unit it is easy to add just remember that Ives switched the field as
Lionel switches the armature. Headlights work.  Wheels look all original.  These are my personal trains. I am not a dealer. I sold a bunch years back & we more last year. These My wife says it’s time to “rid” things up. I’ll answer any guestions you may have. Please look at pictures as they are an integral part of the auction.?  Trains are suppose to be fun. If you buy something from me and you are a reasonable person, you will be happy.
