The cab is printed with the number 8632 in white, and a small raised rectangular area on the side contains the molded name LIONEL.

The matching tender has a molded plastic body and is printed on the sides with the name LIONEL LINES in white. Below this lettering is the designation 233W. The tender features an internal mechanism with visible wiring and a rear ladder. A small plastic figure of a worker in red and gray clothing is attached to the rear of the tender.

There is visible oxidation and surface rust on the axles, pick-up rollers, and the metal baseplate of the tender (photo 6). The plastic tender shell shows multiple surface scratches and abrasions (photo 3). A small green wire is visible through a gap in the tender's coal load (photo 4). The internal mechanisms for the smoke unit and whistle have not been tested for functionality.
