Picked this set up today at TCA figuring it is a pretty common transition era set, but I do not find this set number on the Ives Train Society website. What does the rubber stamped Y indicate? Also the power house has no electronics in it. Is this common?

from a separate purchase (not in a set) i have an empty station, too, which shows no signs of ever being disassembled.
Y = transformer not included? ... just a guess.
nice stuff! ... gary
What does the litho end of the station/house say?
Rob, here’s a couple of pictures.

Nice one Steve. These came with/without the station in the litho, and electrics. I've got one like you but has reddish tile roof (not orangeish) and a red base. Power houses, whistle shacks, and static stations....somebody should study these!

mine does not have the cutout arc (for a speed control?) but is the same as this side on the other side (with the "STATION" graphic on both ends). one end has the three holes that i assume were for connecting posts. perhaps a fixed output version was used with an external rheostat?
cheers...gary
Y did you order the plainest version made?
