Lionel Trains Cannon Firing Range Set No. 347The Cannon Firing Range Set No. 347 was available only in three Sears promotional sets: No.19326 (Sears Set No. 9820) in 1964, No. 19326 and No. 19434 in 1965. In at least the Sears No. 9820 set this launcher was accompanied by a vehicle manufactured by Payton Plastics and ten soft plastic soldiers that were made by Multiple Products Corporation. These soldiers can be identified by a circle logo on their bases.

This accessory used the superstructure from the Missile Firing Car No. 6544, but substituted four cannons for the missile launching rack. Each cannon had a lever that cocked manually and they would fire in sequence when the RED serrated knob was turned.
