Amazing that it still runs and plays music after all these years.

If it could talk, I will bet it would have some stories to tell!

Thanks Tony!

Neat car !
Could be the father of the iconic Family Truckster (National Lampoon Family Vacation) That would look good with a little aunt edna on the roof on a visit to cousin eddie . ( Just joking)   :D
I turned the volume down on your video and played Holiday Road instead. Hope you don't take any offense.

Hi,

Our model railway has been bought and paid for though it is still in its trailer in the drive.  Everything concerned with the layout was sold except for people and vehicles which can be used on the new layout.  Among the vehicles was a tin plate car bought at a church bazaar many years ago.  The reason it was bought is that it is close to 16 mm scale the same as the layouts we have built.  Since it was bought it has been in the layout's trailer all the time except for exhibitions and has travelled many thousands of miles in there.  Today is the first time I have really looked at it for a long time and for a bit of fun wound it up and ran it on the kitchen floor.

Take care stay safe.
