This action-filled accessory includes many new components and reflects Lionel's move towards \u003cem\u003espace and military\u003c\/em\u003e items in the later 1950's. This is an interesting and challenging accessory for the typical child. It required patience and many attempts in order to properly execute the launch of a missile with a direct hit to the box car!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the many components included in this accessory, it is common to find partial or incomplete sets.
