This loco still has the original smoke bulbEarly versions of the set have cars with flying vector board couplers but most have coil couplers, as Lionel struggled to eliminate the vector version (which was a production nightmare!)Cars include the 2466 early tender, 2452X gondola, 2465 Sunoco two dome tank car, 2454 Baby Ruth box car, and 2472 non-illuminated Pennsylvania metal caboose.
