Plarail trains traditionally have an engine and two wagons. Here, they wanted to include a second piece of rolling stock, so the tender was left out in favour of it. BTW, what is that second wagon? A car transporter?

But was there really a "tradition" in place when these vintage sets were released or is this just what you think the reason is?

The trains are traditionally 3 pieces and at this point in time I believe there was no actual mold for a tender so one wasn't included.

Still seems strange that they would make a mold for the steam engine but not what was supposed to go with it. Wonder why they just didn't use a tank engine which would of made more sense, anyway, water under the bridge...

The first Plarail trains didn't yet focus on railway logic, despite the introduction of real life engines and trains at the time.

http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/english/products/plarail/history/index.html According to the official timeline, three-car sets have been the norm since the very first motorized set in 1961, so that "tradition" began at least ten years before this train
