The Lionel Rocket Launching Pad No. 175 was the premier "Space Age" accessory that Lionel produced from 1958 until 1960.

It was mounted on a TAN metal base and mechanism covers and a BLACK/GRAY rocket gantry. The YELLOW crane at the top had a magnet that would lift the rocket from the No. 6175 flat car and place it on the pad. The rocket was launched from the control panel that "counted down" until "lift off."

This accessory is very hard to find intact. Usually, the railings are broken and the controller is often missing. There are no known variations.

Dimensions: 11" long, 11" wide, and 17" high (approximate).
