Lionel powered the unit with the same mechanism used in the 154 electric. The toy, with its simulated armored body, was topped with the same style of turret as used on a U.S. pre-dreadnaught battleship---making it more a rail-bound warship than train-tank hybrid. This item includes [3] baggage-style tinplate passenger cars that were not originally manufactured with the locomotive. They could serve as ammo cars, soldier or goods transport, or whatever else your layout requires!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards (Restored\/Repainted) R-4: Very Good based on visual appearance. These items have all been repainted an attractive, shiny grey color. The passenger cars are in excellent condition with very light signs of use and may be reproduction versions, though it is difficult to determine.

The instruction manual is not included. The original box is not included. Please check the photos for a detailed look at this item. The locomotive was tested and is being sold as tested-functional.
