Reply to "Date of manufacture"

I have all kinds of catalogs that give dates but more like from 1931-37. I wanted to know if there was a specific date put inside each car.

A very definite no to that question.

A date of manufacturer would not be very meaningful as many leftover parts from prior years were used.  For example, I have a 152 that I am restoring.  Looking in the Greenberg new O gauge book, I see that the coupler mounting style was last used in 1917.  The motor type was first used in 1918.  Most likely that was made in 1918 using a frame left over from 1917.
