Not a good idea for the little kids to see, but fun for the adults. Marvin firing the rocket from one layout to the "exploding Boxcar" on the other layout.

Great shot! I like it!
Why isn't it good for the kids to see? Never mind. Stupid question. They might hurt themselves. Put their eye out. Then they can't see anymore. Makes perfect sense.
Turtle2,
Tell Marvin he's a heck of a shot.

And if they mention it at school, the consequences could be bad for everyone.
Great videos!

The missile launchers are my 4 year grand son's favorite trains! He loves the command control 44 the best, shooting at target buildings and cars. The sound car really adds a lot to the action!

I agree. USMC #44 is a mean machine. True story. The cat used to go on the layout. I pulled within firing range and set up the talk sequence. 'Fire!' Resulted in a direct broadside hit and the cat was off the layout in a heartbeat. A bit later the cat ( his name was Bear) was sitting in a laundry basket watching the trains. Really wasn't bothering anything. Couldn't resist. Another direct hit to the neck. After that, all it took was 'Scanning for targets' and the cat was gone like flash, upstairs and under a bed or something. Hardly ever went on the layout again. A very effective weapon in the right hands. Have fun.
I hope Marvin wasn't using a Pue 36 Explosive Space Modulator!! It would destroy the Earth!!
Its about time we see expert marksman at the missile controls. Great shot!! Even in the original 60's Lionel commercial even the professionals couldn't do it this way.
I got my Uncle's rocket car and exploding boxcar, and have be have been reliving childhood memories with them.

Steamer,
David Merry Christmas and I know how important your Tin Plate Trains are to you, I have similar memories, very glad you got your uncles trains to run now at Christmas time. Brought the original 263E, that my Grandfather purchased for my Father on his 1st birthday, up from my brother's home to run and take some pictures of again on my Christmas layout this year, as with yours, my trains are incredible memory makers, and part of our family tradition.
Happy New year Buddy!
