Yeah I figured that about the conventional mode.
Without having stock #'s it's hard to tell what engine components he has.
I do have a set of Lionel TMCC FA AA's (6-38182) that has a powered lead A unit and an unpowered dummy A unit. The dummy does have directional lighting, smoke and electrocoupler. It's possible the OP's engine has it too. Without #'s who knows?
