Thanks! It is Lionel #175 Science Series. Bought the launch control because that is the bit most curious about. Looks like the whole set would be spendy and time consuming to assemble. Cool when done though.
Ha, just noticed at -7 the helicopter is crashed next to the capsule landing, oops...

Rocket Controller arrived. Very cool bit of early 60's. Lights up with "WARNING Countdown Under Way" Timer is a clockwork affair that is +/- 6.5 seconds 0 to 0. "Trajectory Selector" is just a no effect slider. Gets fun with "Gantry" "Fire" buttons. Single terminal affairs.

Anyone know how this was wired please let me know. Any luck couple of pics and link to you-tube attached.
Thanks

So this one fine example of a train set. EM at it's finest. The hours and money spent must be huge.
