Lionel 3409 Vintage O Helicopter Launching Car VG

This is an operating helicopter launching car that comes with the Navy helicopter and was made in 1961. You wind up the launcher and when you hit the trigger button, the helicopter flies off! This car has the plastic spring-wound launch mechanism and is manually cocked and released. This means you cannot launch the helicopter from this car from a remote control track like you can with the 3419 cars. This car is, however, much more difficult to find if you are collecting them. This car features plastic trucks, fixed knuckle couplers, and metal wheels and axles.

This item has been graded per TCA standards C-6: Very Good based on visual appearance. There are light nicks and scratches on the surface of the shell and chassis of the flatcar and helicopter.
