Thank you Jake. I originally went to the Lionel website and couldn't find any thing for the id number on the box. I checked for NYC FTs and nothing looked close. I seem to have no luck on that website whenever I look for older model numbers. I don't know if mine is an upgradeable version however your success in finding a manual from 1999 sent me back to the Lionel website and I think I found my engine as part of a NYC passenger. At least the FT on the cover of the set manual has the same road number as mine. I've printed out the Locomotive operation section from that manual and will compare the underside of mine to the diagrams in the manual to see if I have the same controls as shown. Again thank you for your help
Joe
