Additional Details

This motorized unit came with one non-operating coupler, Magnetraction, and a red light on top of the body. Four white missiles were provided with this interesting unit, which was designed to be used with the other space & military items produced by Lionel during the same era. Care should be given to how this item is handled and stored as the delicate front end and the ten steps (two on each front corner & three on each rear corner) are easily broken. The combination of those problems and the paint, which is susceptible to chipping, makes it hard to find this item in collector-quality condition.
