Is a Bild-A-Loco motor correct for this Lionel 318E electric engine?

A brief look Greenberg's New "Guide to Standard Gauge Trains", the brown baby state set has a 318E with a bild-a-motor. The 4 other colors: gray, mojave, green, and the black are listed with the super motor.

I have 2 - 318s, a dark gray and a brown, and they both have this motor.

There is one 318 IIRC with B-A-L motors. The Baby State set is the one.  I seem to recall a special that has one but I could be conflating that with a #10.

Thanks for the information. Is a Bild-A-Loco motor any better than the regular Super Motor? Do they take the same wheels and wheel gears?

Thanks.

As the non-first Super-Motor .... yes.

I'm looking for some information on a Lionel 318 I saw today.  It was in a set box that SEEMED to be marked 342 or 342T.  I can't find that as a reference anywhere.  The set had the 318, 2 passenger cars, and 2 freight cars.  Did Lionel ever produce a set that way or was this just a jumble of items thrown in an old set box?

The 342 number refers to a 318 and 3 passenger cars set. Made for 10 years in various configurations, it was a popular set. The 342 set box design MAY have been used for other sets.  The 342 on the label is indicative of what's in the box.  342T and 342B are part numbers for the box itself. Lionel did not mix freight and passenger too much... i can think of one or two sets...maybe.  Never in Standard gauge.
