    Description

    I wish I could show you what is inside this original shipping box.  (I would like to see it myself, actually).  But if I open it, the value will go down and I am not willing to pay that price.
    Some details from www.trains.com reviewing this item:
    1) This set contains
    a no. 2321 Lackawanna Train Master diesel, a Sunoco three-dome tank car, a New York Central gondola, a Minneapolis & St. Louis boxcar, a Lehigh Valley hopper car, and a Pennsylvania caboose. No track or power supply is included.
    2) The boxcar is a no. 6464-50 Minneapolis & St. Louis. The boxcar has a plastic shell with a metal frame and is painted brown with white lettering. Details are all cast on, except for the add-on brake wheel and sliding door and door frame.
    3) The gondola is a no. 6462-25 New York Central car. It consists of a single-piece plastic casting painted green with white lettering. Details are cast in except for the brake wheel. The car carries a load of wooden barrels that I thought were pretty neat – no pretense at realism – and they reminded me of old-time thread spools.
    4) The hopper is a gray no. 6456 Lehigh Valley car. It has a very nice detachable coal load, so you can run it “full” or insert your own cargo. Save for the coal load and brake wheel, the details are all cast in.
    5) The tank car is a no. 6415 Sunoco three-dome model. The car body is plastic, with a metal handrail running around the body and steps leading upward toward the center dome. The frame is plastic and has some undercarriage detail. An add-on brake wheel is mounted on the frame.
    6) The caboose is the Pennsylvania RR N5c-class porthole caboose. It carries the Pennsy road name and the number “536417,” with “New York Zone” just below the number. The car has clear plastic in the windows. The brake wheel is located on the end assembly with the plastic ladder and roof supports. The car has an interior light, though, like the original, it lacks interior detailing.

    Features
    : Two Pullmor motors, magnetic couplers, electronic horn, traction tires on locomotive; set includes five cars
    "
    "
    The model has two power pickup rollers, roughly seven inches apart. The motors functioned well. Only two axles of each truck are powered, and the leading wheelset (closest to the forward, or rear end of the pilot, has a traction tire). The model is also equipped with Magne-Traction and traction tires.

    "Time did not stand still, and you won’t find a reproduction of the 50-year old guts of a Train Master. You’ll find an electronic reverse, a digital horn and speaker (the sounds are prototypical), and Lionel has slightly repositioned the headlight bulb mounts inside."
