Sylpheed - a motorized DE10?

I recently got my hands on a beautiful second hand Sylpheed set by Microace (A3950) at a very affordable price, and I was wondering if someone else had the set and could perhaps clarify something?

The set came with a motorized DE10 when I thought the loc in the set was supposed to be an unpowered, dummy. Did I misread the infos available on this set or is this just an auction surprises? I am also asking as no wheels on the DE10 came with a traction tire and no wheels seem to have a groove where it could have rest.

Many n scale locos dont have traction tires, so I'd just assume this one was designed to not have them.  Only pulling three cars it really doesn't need them anyway.

I believe this is a auction surprise. The original set is just a dummy loco, with the motor chassis in car 3 of the carpet train... It's a nice surprise though, and I wonder how the seller got the DE10 to be motorised! Probably remove the shell from some other DE10s and replaced it with this one...
