Does the carboose have lights as stated in the description, I just got a set and it seems empty.

The caboose is no longer illuminated as it was in the 2012 version of the PA Flyer, thus Amazon's statement that the caboose is illuminated is incorrect. The tender's light doesn't light..it's just a non-working fixture. You can buy a Lionel caboose that is illuminated. In the Amazon search box enter words Lionel+caboose+illuminated+lighted to find versions.

No the set that I got did not have a lighted caboose. I have since purchased a holiday lighted caboose on an auction site!

No, there are no lights and the lifting mechanism is manual (but very simple to do!).

No lights. The wheels are interchangeable and it does look like the picture

The ball it comes with does not light up. It's just a regular all that does nothing. The lighted balls are sold separately.

I have the same question. Looks like the lights are gone with out notice. In fact I thought it's not working since there to light, but looks OK afterwards. What is disturbing is that as an owner of old model I was not aware of the missing lights...

This set does not come with a license plate light. It has to be bought separately.

No lights come with the kit. We actually used a construction light with ours!

No it doesnt have any lights which is my only downfall of product but my baby loves it and we have a little glitter lamp we use for light instead in the room

On my model, it has lights to let you know. Mine has been going for a year and still no change is needed.

Yes it does look the same as the picture, the wheels are able to change but there are no lights.

It does not. But you can get them cheap at the store. The light is really nice snd you can install lights racing up or down.

No, they don't. I think I read somewhere that some of the pieces had wheels that light up, but I haven't seen any in person that do. Again, I can't recommend this high enough.

I think one of them has a light. Mine doesn't but it works great and we love it.

The lights don't matter. Mine has lights and everything works fine, lights too

Well Nick it has been over a year, I don't believe it has a light on it. Two things, it was an N gauge and the problem was the drive wheels came a part so it was sent back. It is a great looking train. I loved the style of it and if you get it and it works I think you' will really like it. I hope this helpsLarry Bernstein

They only light up with your lights being on. Bright Tails makes an alternative that lights up with brakes and turn signals, though.

I thought I had it. I just checked but no light. Bulbs are there. May be I need to check those bulbs.
