Ives  had intended on making an O gauge version of the Orange and black Olympian Set. They had even gone as far as showing a picture of it in an early pre-release of the 1929 catalog folder.  The locomotive was to have used a 3257 body on a 4-4-4 frame and pull 3 141-142 series cars with six wheel trucks. Ives had even gone as far as re-tooling the trucks for their large passenger cars so that they would be able to carry an extra journal box and even though they would only have 8 wheels on a truck, they would have 6 journal boxes. The engine shown below was thought to be the prototpe for this engine, but with a lot of research from a couple long time Ives collectors it was found that this engine was a fake and made by Jim Cohen. It's still an excellant piece of work and is probably very close to what Ives would have done.

 3265 mock up is made from a 3257 shell and a cut up 3257/3255 frame. the trucks were completely fabricated.
