That looks so dangerous

Toy for very rich people...

I didn’t realize that Erector Sets were introduced as early as 1913.

Toys are so much cooler the further back you go eventually they're just sticks and rocks which we always like best for the boys

What could go wrong?

Less dangerous than their phone

So what part makes it a toy.. how do you play with it

This is why our parents and grandparents could always fix and figure out how to make things work. If these toys are what they grew up on, they had nothing but time to breakdown the mechanisms. Their brand developed learning mechanical fundamentals which is different from ours now. Spillage from the industrial era

Wow! Built to last and gets kids ready for factory work.

We could of had steampowered vehicles years ago but big corporations would lose too much money in gas sales....They also assassinated the man who had the plans to build them...

You should show it’s purpose…what it does…

Teaching slave labor way early on lol

In the late 70s I had two ice cream buckets of Legos and a Meccano set

I built a steam engine (without the boiler chamber) in grade 11 metal work in 1987. I then hooked it up to an air hose to test it out

Now days it's Barbie Dolls for both boys and girls

The dumb kids today wouldn’t even know how to get it working let alone be smart enough to handle this with care… sadly most kids now a days don’t even try to problem solve any more they would sit there until they are told how to do it… you all know I’m roght

Children’s toy. A can of gas and a match. 😂

fast forwards to today and i wouldnt trust my dang 18ur old nephew w/tht😢

SO COOL

The other day I was trying to explain the motor and the transmission to my 5-year-old, and I think this would really have been helpful in getting that across.

It's not 🚭 a toy 🪀🧸 but a machine 😮😅

These TOYS ARE TRYNA TRANS UR KIDS! Everyone melt down!!

The design is very human

Better times

They where teaching them early for factory jobs

So why did they ever get rid of these? Now these are the "STEM" projects they keep touting but cost $100. Seems like they scammed us into thinking STEM is real when it used to be the standard?

Like to see how this was built

Now all the young reprobates can do is pretend to be another animal or fantasy gender. Schools in the west are a disgrace.

Did it forward?… I was born in the early 80’s …..

Kids got dumber because the toys got to safe 😂😂😂

Hmmm yes. But what does it do?

THEN, The Canister Exploded And Caught The House On Fire To Burn It Down.😂😂😂😂😂...

Ah so that's why we had so many "great fires" in the past

Steam powered, so cool all the moving gears , love it.

That's not a children's toy, it was targeted more for the pre-teen boys and girls....

AMAZING

I got one of these for Christmas about 1970. I still have it.

We still had some decently dangerous toys into the 70's with the EZ-Bake Oven and the Mattel Vac-U-Form.

Shit i bet that hot as shit kids 4th degree burns and shit....lol

More toys today need fire and hot surfaces. They taught me more than just fun.

We had one just like this one back in the 60"s

Today, children would find limitless ways to die from this toy. It seems humans are devolving

Prize possession. They didn't have many toys, but the toys they had were excellent.
