Freight Cars
1931-1932

1500 Series

Circa 1931-32 - small 4 wheel 1512 gondola in blue

Circa 1931-1932 - small 4 wheel 1514 box car in yellow with orange door, below is the same car with a green door.

Never cataloged, never documented - but this is a No. 1513 stock car. If there's another one we've yet to hear of it.

Circa 1931-1932 - Small 4 wheel silver 1515 tank car.

Circa 1931-1932 - Small 4 wheel red 1517 caboose

1600 Series

Circa 1931-32 - Midsize 8 wheel 1677 gondola in blue

The 1931 car is on the top - 1932 car is on the bottom - can you tell the difference???

Circa 1931-32 - Mid size yellow/orange No. 1678 stock car.

Compare two Lionel production box cars, the one above is early or 1931 with the deep blue roof and brown door. The example below is later (1932) with a cadet blue roof and yellow/brown door.

 

 

Circa 1931-32 - No. 1680 silver tank

We believe this was done by Lionel to sell after 1932, they put the Sunoco decal over the Ives name

Circa 1931-32 - No. 1682 red caboose.

Caboose on top is 1931 with smooth cupola roof, one on bottom is 1932 with embossed cupola roof.

This one is a curiosity, it's just a frame stamped 1676, Ives/Lionel never cataloged any freight car with this number??

1700 Series

Circa 1932 - No. 1707 gondola

Not sure what to make of this one with the 1717 number and odd trucks.

Circa 1932 - No. 1708 Stock car

Circa 1932 - No. 1709 blue/green box car with yellow door.

Circa 1932 - No. 1712 orange caboose with red roof.
