Seems like kids nowadays are sheltered from hands on activity. Electric trains would be considered “hazardous” now. I call baloney! A little electric shock never hurts. These old toys are much more safe than toys made today. A number 42 can’t get hacked! A transformer can’t scam you! Sorry just going off on a tangent. But it’s true.

If you don't have a  1913-1914 Lionel Catalog, the same color cover picture can be found inside the back cover of the TCA Lionel Trains: Standard of the World, 1900-1943, Second Edition.

That book lists the tunnel at the top of the picture as Lionel #109. Despite searching, I have never seen another photo or example of that tunnel. It is similar to Marklin, but I have not found a  Marklin tunnel that is an exact match. 

The station is an Ives 116 Grand Central Station. Ives did make a similar but not identical glass train shed.
