Congratulations 

C

ongratulations on your purchase of the Lionel Train Orders Building! Triggered by the 153C
Contactor (included) or the 153IR Controller (available separately, 6-14111), this accessory

features a figure that emerges from the illuminated building to pass a message up to the train
crew. The operating roof-top signal lets the crew know that they need to pick-up their orders.
The exterior is illuminated by an industrial lamppost.
