Battery (D) is not included. To build the monorail, connect the pylons (the green brackets in the photo) with the metal rails.The Rocket travels along the spring tensioned rails; large round extensions on top of the rocket hold the motor drive. It has two modes: forward, and reverse. The control lever, which is on the underside near the nose cone, moves easily. This one works as is.
It moves at a reasonable pace, and gets stuck if it has to move slightly uphill. The metal supports bow very slightly. If you wanted it to move fast, apparently a rubber grip on the front wheel can be replaced professionally. Otherwise, these older toys with worn/dried/out grips can drag or move very slowly on the track.
