Had one and loved it....Honestly, if I still had it I'd still play with it....and I'm 62 yards old now. I think my fav toys were this, my Johnny Eagle M1 replica, and "Battle Wagon" a toy battleship. Later I loved the Star Trek pistols that shot those little plastic disks.........Good Times!
@@michaelkroberts1037 I was referring to when I was like 9 or 10. I eventually did get a paper route, but by that time, I wanted older kid stuff - like a bike.
@@vanlifenomad that's a shame. I had mine sold when I was about 15. As my mum was running a weekend market thrift stall and sold all my toys, board games, and everything I had as a younger boy basically. Many I don't or haven't seemed to be able to see at all again in any if the history games sites. But this is Australia, we don't seem to care for history as much as the rest of the world.

@@vanlifenomad I'm yet to venture more of Australia. Too many things seemed to have got higher priority over the decades. The Ghan is meant to be nice. Just ensure you have catered food, don't eat with the masses. If you do have too, take either or both, red cordial or diareh/food poisoning preventative measures. But enjoy.

Seriously? You want this guy to destroy the toy just so you can have inside knowledge of how it works? With all due respect, it's simple physics, sir.
