Produced on a painted GREEN metal base, Lionel would add additional plastic details to the top. The watchman waves his flag as the train approches and was made out of DARK BLUE painted plastic with FLESH colored hands and face. Two binding posts connect this accessory to an No. 145C contact that triggered the watchman by the weight of the train.
