Man Bruce, I'm a sucker for those water elevators and fountains. Love 'em.  When you quickly pan over to the Jensen, you get a sense of how big this is.

Perfect speed to run it at.  I would guess faster does not add anything to the motion, might even hinder.

I'll look in my Toys of Carette book later tonight to see if I can find a model number.

Thanks for the video!
Thanks Scott...that would be greatly appreciated. your right about faster is worse & looks terrible doing it, this is incredibly easy to power, very clever how the French/Germans do things toywise.
