No. 230 / 1871 / 1873 / 1874 Passenger Station    (Circa 1929-1932)

Circa 1930 - This is actually a Lionel 122 station, but the colors on this one are yellow (mustard) with red roof. This station is also known to come in white and red.

Variation above has white chimneys, one below has red chimneys. 

This one is missing the plate, but the colors tell you it's Ives.

The very rare White or cream variation.

No 230 - 3 with the light fixtures on each side. Note the No. 230-3x station below, it came with a No. 228 platform (Late 117). To the best of our knowledge these 230 station / 228 platform combinations weren't actually attached like the earlier glass domes, but came as separate pieces. Also of interest in the picture below is that it has a single light attached to the roof support.

 

These stations are very confusing as to number. 1931 catalog called this an 1873 but I believe they had the graphics mixed up and this was an 1871

This one was numbered 1874 as it has the lights on each end.

100% Lionel except for the plate and stamp on the bottom. This was sold as an 1873 in 31-32. See note on station below.

Again the 1931 and 1932 catalogs are confusing as to which is which but I believe this to be an 1874 with the lights, 1873 without. This was shown with the Ives City plate in 1932 only. Until I find some with original boxes will never know for sure, but in any event this station with the IVES CITY plate is hard to find.
