    IVES Donald J. Lewis President Directors Dave Bashline John Basile Randy Berger Rod Cornell John DeSantis Martin Fasack Dave McEntarfer Peter Primiani TIES Editor John Basile TRACKS Editor Martin Fasack THE IVES TANK CAR PRESIDENT’S COLUMN By: John Gray I-6662 By: Don Lewis (COVER ILLUSTRATION) It was not until 1906 that IVES introduced a line of freight cars to its 1 gauge toy train selection; however for some reason they did not appear in the IVES catalogue until 1910. They were numbered the 70-Series freight cars, and yet no tank cars accompanied them. In 1915 Ives remodeled its outdated 70-Series freight cars, and numbered them the 7000-Series, which included the new 7849 tank car. This new line of No.1 Gauge freight cars were the most prototypical of any toy trains being produced at that time. The IVES 7849 tank car was the most interesting of the new line; it included embossed rivets, a center dome with a fill, an attached vent pipe, a walkway around the tank body, and an air tank suspended underneath from a metal strip to which were also attached the wheel trucks. A ratchet brake wheel was also mounted at one end of the tank, which very much enhanced its appearance. But the most unusual feature of the 7849 tank car was the ladders, positioned at all four corners, just above the trucks, and soldered to the walkway. The tank was lettered "TEXAS OIL" on the sides, with the number "7849" appearing at each end. This series of freight cars also had the new "automatic couplers." The tank car was 11 inches long.
