Thanks, Charlie.
According to one of the posts within that link, in the late '40s, Gilbert did produce two locomotives, the Northern and the 0-8-0 switcher, in both AC and DC versions, but no other models with a DC option. Since this set is apparently from the '50s, I'm guessing it probably is AC powered.
I've asked my friend to weigh the entire set, just to see what the shipping cost might be - certainly more that a few couplers or some LEDs, I'd guess.
Maybe I can talk one of my neighbours into buying it.
