The Lionel Dispatching Station No. 365 is an elevated control room that was illuminated. It is the same as the No. 465 Sound Dispatching Station, but does not have the sound and train control mechanisms installed. Rarer than the No. 465, this station was produced for only two years: 1958 and 1959.

It has a TAN plastic base, RED control tower with a DARK GRAY roof, and ornamental YELLOW loudspeakers and microwave antenna on the roof. These parts are often missing which is why reproduction parts are available.

Because of the scarcity of this station, the No. 465 is sometimes passed off as this version by removing the speaker system. Collectors should examine the base of this accessory to insure that the number "365" is molded into the bottom of the base.

Only one instruction sheet was issued for this accessory. Numered 365-10 it was printed with BLUE ink on WHITE paper it is dated 3-58.

There are two variations:

Variation A: Has a BLACK plastic tower structure that is painted RED.

Variation B: Has an unpainted RED tower structure.

Dimensions: Base: 11" long by 5" wide; Height: 6-1/2" to the top of roof line and the microwave antenna adds another 2-3/4 inches.
