For ages 3 to 7... And old guys that love toys and won't let them slip away...
These sets are from around 1977... May have been produced into the '90s... Don't really know...
One slot, two guide pins, one *AA* battery... *Elevator* functions are operated by the vehiclewheels, similar to Tyco US-1 Trucking... It must have been a hoot working on this in the R&D Dept...
Would have loved to have had these at one of my Christmas displays...
A big, big thanks to Kate for videoing these in action, for all toy-lovers... Fascinated by these...

I gave my son one of these years ago for Christmas, and I swear I spent more time playing with it than he did. 
Those little black hard plastic balls you used as loads were like 'Lego eggs', step on those puppies in the dark and you usually got hurt.
Lots of fun though
