Lionel Postwar Set No. 19111 with Mercury Capsule Car - Anybody have any info in this set??

Hi Folks,

I found this set out in Quebec and bought it as I’ve been looking for the Mercury Capsule Car. The set box states Set No. 19111. I have a Greenberg guide and I can’t find this set listed in there, mind you the guide I have is dated. I’m guessing its an uncatalogued set and perhaps even one created for Canada. It is a pretty cool little set with the Mercury Capsule Car, Target Car etc. see photos. I’m trying to get more info on the set itself and an idea of value, not that value matters too much as I’m keeping it! :slight_smile:

The owner said it was in their family for a long time but didn’t know anything else.

Does anyone know anything about the origins of this set? Any info or leads would be greatly appreciated. Here are the pictures. Thanks!

I looked in the reference books I’ve got and can’t find a 19111 set at all. Your supposition it may be an ucataloged set may be correct. Sorry.

Perhaps you need to check this book out?
