Here is a Lionel 45 Vintage O Olive Drab USMC Mobile Missile Launcher from 1960 to 62. The USMC Mobile Missile Launcher is an unusual-looking locomotive and is based solely upon the imagination of Lionel designers -- it does not have a real-life equivalent. The 45 is part of Lionel's "Space & Military" series. Other than the color and number, the #45 is the same as the # 44 United States Army Mobile Missile Launcher introduced in 1959. As with many items from the Space & Military series, there are delicate parts that are prone to damage due to improper handling. For example, the delicate front end and the ten side steps -- two on each front corner & three on each rear corner -- are easily broken. Additionally, the paint is prone to chipping or flaking and locating one in collectable condition is difficult. Features include an olive-painted body, white lettering, gray missile launcher, blue rubberized man at the control panel, magnetraction, three-position E-unit, red light on roof plus a non-operating die-cast coupler on one end. The gray missile launcher is manually operated and includes four white simulated missiles.
