The locomotive features a die-cast boiler, a 2-4-2 wheel arrangement, and is decorated with brass and copper piping and trim. The front number board is marked 385E, and the cab side features a red keystone logo containing the letter L. It is accompanied by a matching gunmetal gray tinplate tender marked The Lionel Railway Lines on brass side plates.
