My research has come up with '39 production. She only has a number plate on the left side.

Teledoc,
can you tell me anything about this 1688 ?
It sounds like I've hit a nerve with this thread !
we all must be suffering from the same affliction...
I’m in a different position, with Prewar multiples. I have 18 “Torpedo” 1688’s. The major reason is they are all different castings, from 1936-1942. No two are alike in the external castings, plus there were three distinct motors used during their production. An article reprint on the forum, in Timeless Classics, ran an article about the first issued 1688E, that had forward facing cab windows, unlike the rest of production. While searching to locate this elusive version, I noticed way more variations, than most people knew existed. I have every variation made. There has to be something wrong with my thinking. LOL.
Nothing wrong with doubling-up Paul, if it's something you like.
After all, they ain't makin' any more of 'em.
And Happy Easter everyone!
Happy easter to you too, Yes it is very normal.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid John Wayne

Thank you, guys !
I guess I'm in great company, and I will consider this affirmation that this behavior is normal !
I just realized how many times I've bought the same engine twice, I guess I enjoyed it so much the first time !
Happy Easter !
Good evening all,
Well, I do have two 384E, one is a Lionel Classic and the other is a MTH.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
No I wouldn't do anything like that. Let's see I have
five 224E's
three 2359
Three 262's
two 259's
three 736's
three 675's
Three PA-1 NYC
Three PB-1 NYC
Should I go on? lol
She is very free rolling, but will need all the usual servicing:
cleaning, brushes, tender pick up wires, etc...
She is really clean cosmetically, with just one missing marker lamp
When I like something, I tend to buy it twice.
So, I have 2 Lionel turbines, 2 Lionel 2025's, and today I bought a second 2035
I don't know if anyone else does this :
