IVES Tunnels - We can't tell you too much about the tunnels. They were all made out of Paper Mache and painted. IVES put no markings on them and listed them in different lenghts over the years. Basically there were four different tunnels. The No. 103 and 104 were the smaller ones and intended for 0 gauge equipment. The No. 105 and No. 106 tunnels were longer and higher and intended for 1 or wide gauge trains. Otherwise the pictures on this page will have to tell the story. 

The examples above and below are either No. 103 or 104 - probably dating from the somewhere between World War I and 1925.

This one we believe to be a No. 104 tunnel from around 1925/

Here's a look inside a 104 tunnel, this label was probably on the outside of the box and was pasted inside the tunnel.

Circa 1923-1928 - We know this tunnel is a No. 105 made somewhere in the mid 1920s as it was still in it's original box, the example below also came in an original box.

Wide gauge peek-a-boo style tunnel.

Based on it's length this is a No. 106 tunnel for Wide Gauge.

It's hard to get excited about a tunnel but this might be the one exception. Was pictured in 1928 catalog and on the 1929 folder. It's a No. 107 tunnel for Wide Gauge, it's 18" long and sold for $6 (expensive for a tunnel) The one pictured here is one of 2 known to have survived.
