The tanker trailer featured the nostalgic LIONEL ELECTRIC TRAINS rectangular logo along with the Hillside, NJ address. Along the roof walk of the tanker, each compartment is marked with the numbers of a Lionel favorite: "700E"-"746"-"773"-"726"-"671"; all famous Lionel steam locomotives. The tanker rear has a lighted Lionel 100th Anniversary logo (the last authorized use of logo during 100 year celebration) and the chromed bumper states: "THIS TRUCK STOPS AT ALL LIONELVILLE RAILROAD CROSSINGS". The truck has operating lights, authentic truck sounds and coin bank. The coin bank is accessed through walkway and opened by sliding a round hatch cover. Lights and sound use other hatches for starting operation. Packaged in a nostalgic full color Lionel-style box and is serially numbered.
