While going through some paper related Lionel products at home found the 1970
catalog and saw one of the sets had a satellite launching car
Does anyone remmber this?
in the catalog it should give a stock number most likely starts with 6- and then 4 or 5 numbers after that. that will help so we can give you more info.
I remember it well.
As with many of the items depicted in this catalog, it was never made.
1970 set #1087 “Midnight Express” with the Penn Central satellite car is explained here.
How about that ZW at the top of the page? Click the picture for an enlarged view.

Thanks for the info The Loco might have been some leftover 665’s possibly not enough leftover or enough orders. I found before today a seperate sale sheet from sixties indicating the 665 wa available for seperate sale it was dated 1967
At any rate this proves something I saw in the catalogs "All product designs in this catalog are subject to change without notice’ or something to that effect.
Also was that the ZW of 1991?
