DescriptionThis metal toy electric train is a vibrant yellow color and has a rectangular design. It features various raised ridges and small raised dots on its surface. The sides of the train include a small door in the center. The side of the train also appears to contain a ladder, adjacent to a circular emblem, and various letters and corresponding numbers in black lettering. Notably, the text "X2454" is underneath the characters, followed by the words "Built By / Lionel" in the same black lettering. On the other side of the train, "Pennsylvania" is read in large black serif lettering, followed by "65400" underneath it in the same lettering. Below this, additional letters and corresponding numbers are visible, along with the text "New 6-45" on the lower portion. A small black hook or connector is visible on the back of the train, likely to connect it to other train toys.
