Ives Parts.
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, May 9, 2005 5:09 PM
Ok, does anyone know where i can get some ives parts besides couplers? Everyone seems to have only couplers. Im looking for some loco drivers and trim parts. Thanks for any leads.

You might try Ebay. Every now and then there are auctions for prewar parts and some junkers that could be scavenged.

Hello Prewarboy262 ! Try Model Engineering Works. Just type in their name on your computer and they should have the wheels & other Ives parts you're looking for. Be advised that they do not have original Ives parts as they have been used up many years ago. Hope this helps you out...........Keith

Doesn't Bowser make repro drivers? I don't know if they are for Ives, but it might be worth looking into.
