General Discussion / 1516T or 1588T Love me Tender

« on: March 31, 2024, 04:42:51 PM »

In the 1936 catalog I found a four wheel tender that has the metal box like a 1689T. It is shown in the spring driven set as a 1516T (page 46)and can be found behind a 1588 torpedo, as a 1588T (page 45).  Is there really any difference?

So far, I have collected two and neither were stamped.

I get lucky once in a while searching for Lionel Trains at Antique Shops and Flea Markets. One requiremnt is that they have to be priced just right. In the Northeast the is a Hug market three times a year in Brimfield Mass. It iis huge because vendors are camped out in fields for a four day event. Anyway the concept drifted to Deerfield Fair Grounds in NH and hold a Brimfield North weekend.
It was our first time attending. These vendors are not really local  vendors they travel a lot.

So last May I spotted this with no tag and got it for ten bucks.

 

As a rightful Newbie this is my first picture.
