The Lionel prewar 263E steam locomotive and 263W tender in blue-on-blue color are part of the Three-Rail System O Gauge model train collection. This pre-built set features a 2-4-2 wheel configuration with an analog control system, making it ready to go for model railroad enthusiasts. The tender does not have a whistle feature but is still a notable addition to this vintage-inspired locomotive set.
