The Lionel Heliport Control Tower No. 419 was only catalogued in 1962, and used a spring mechanism to launch a helicopter from the roof of the structure. This mechanism is visible on the inside of the control tower area that is not illuminated. There is a lever on top to trigger the release of the helicopter.

It has a TAN plastic base, RED control tower with a GRAY roof, and a YELLOW radar antenna and Type D Helicopter.

There are no known variations.
