I re installed the 175 rocket launcher on the layout as of last week. It worked perfect; smoke, lights, count down clock, etc. The second time the black plunger blew off as high as the rocket; almost.

I have gone to Lionel, Brasseur, and all the websites I could find looking for the part. I know it's number: 610-4102-008. It is on the Lionel website complete with picture and listed as unavailable. No one has it nor do they think it will become available.

I am reluctant to pull the mechanism apart as the plunger is clearly snapped off from itself. In the past I have had limited success with gluing, welding, taping, splinting, or any other attempt at re attachment of plastic parts. The Maiden Rescue was a failure repair and it was only a plastic piece breaking off. With that it was cheap enough to buy a new one.

Thus has any one found this part? has anyone repaired this issue?

Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated. In spite of my picture I am no whiz at the modern electronics but have a relative easy time with postwar stuff.

If you lightly twist the tabs you should be able to see why it came apart.. The part "looks " exactly like the postwar part  only in red . My new fiend Bill at S&W parts supply should have the red version .. nice guy  give him a call if you want to go that way. You might want to call Lionel and see if indeed its the same part  working the same I would try it at least good luck DANiel
