Are the motors in the Engine, Can Motors?    Please explain to me What does Powerful Maintenance-Free Motor mean (Cheap Motor??????????).

Lionel usually identifies their high-end can motor by adding that it comes with a momentum flywheel, or by mentioning that it is their Pullmor open-frame AC motor. Since neither feature is mentioned and this is something of a starter set, I suspect it has the lower-end can motors, but I could be wrong.No one has posted pictures of the engine without the shell.
