Hi Woodsy,
I dug out
what is possibly my oldest toy (in that it was actually bought for me when I was
a kid and I've still got it!). It is a TN Toys Douglas DC9 airliner. This
amazing toy is battery operated and goes through a repeated cycle of taxi, stop,
open door, lower steps (at which point a stewardess appears in the doorway),
raise steps, close door, rev up engines (which pulse with red light as a jet
engine sound is made), then taxi again. All achieved without a microprocessor
and, it still works! I really must post a youtube clip of it! Thought people
might like to see it.
Take care,
Kevin D

To Kevin: That's a gorgeous hunk o' tin! It's neat to see people who still have some cool toys still from their childhood.
ReplyDeleteWoodsy: Thanx for posting!
There already are some clips of this great toy in action on YouTube. Must have been a treat to own as a child!
