Pretty sure 1614 is the correct number. Ready for tomorrow’s meet.

OMG, I want it. How much are you asking? (Although I probably should't buy anything right now) I love the car with the Hellgate casually thrown in. Still a lot of snow on the ground and no train meets here.
Hi Steve.
Good Luck at the meet tomorrow, have a nice day. I think you have a 1614 set there from 1932. The 1616 as described in the 1932 catalog talks of locomotive and Pullman cars equipped with 12 wheels and of course an electric type locomotive

Thanks, I have corrected my original post.

@Will There will be a train show at Rennigers Market in Kutztown on March 27th. They started shows last summer and have been pretty good considering being under open pavilians and the weather, Maybe I'll see you there.
Hope Steve had a great day! I'll be at Kutztown Will with a couple of 258's but not Ives. Really looking forward to Kutztown in May!
After many years of some pretty unsavory claims/counter-claims in their advertising, it's interesting that Lionel, owner of Ives in 1932, advertised "Ives - The Finest In 'O' Gauge Outfits".
Thanks, Guys, I may check out Kutztown. How does it compare in size to say the Allentown shows? Much tinplate?
Enough tinplate to wet your whistle I would say. Over 100 vendors is a good guess.,

Dan, your link takes me to a past show. I found this post from Jim Waterman on FB: "I asked Renninger's in Kutztown, PA if they were going to do some more meets. Here's the answer: Yes , we will be having three in 2021. May 15, July 17 and August 28."
Is there a meet in March? You mentioned March 27. Does Renningers have a website or just a Facebook page?
I expect I will see you guys there.
https://renningers.net/events/...-model-train-meet-5/. Will, this should be the link.
Steve, even at that price, it was a good buy!
