A tender is not included. This one has a 2-6-4 wheel arrangement. This is the common version manufactured from 1951 - 1953. The 2026 was classified by Lionel as a Prairie-type steam engine. It's a mid-size steam engine and was sold as an 027 gauge item. The early 2026 is a fancier locomotive compared to the later version. In addition, the 2026 shares its boiler casting with other Lionel locomotives such as the 637, 2016, 2018, 2029 and 2037 steamers: however the internal workings are different. The 2026 steam locomotive had two independent production runs. The first was in 1948 and 1949 while the second was from 1951 to 1953. Although Lionel used the same catalogue number (2026), in most cases parts are not interchangeable between the early and late version. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis later model has a 2-6-4 wheel arrangement with scaled-down driving wheel hardware, three-position E-unit, smoke, relatively plain spoked drive wheels, sheet metal trailing truck plus ornamental bell and illuminated headlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards (Restored\/Repainted) R-4: Very Good based on visual appearance.
