#6991 Monorail Shuttle Launcher

This is the latest monorail set and is part of the Space series. It doesn't appear to be tied to any particular sub-theme, but I've seen it listed under Spyrius and Unitron. Supplied with an oval of track and two sidings, one leading to a land rover which accepts the front car of the train, the other to a higher landing platform for arriving spaceships. At the end of each siding is a reverse/stop switch. Additional components include a radar station, control room, launching ramp for cockpit modules and a trailer to carry a cockpit module over ground. As with the original set, it is equipped with a flashing light, also powered by the 9V battery.
