I recently saw a loose cable car set at a flea market. I've seen similar many times over the years and found them gracing model shop window displays too.
They do look great.
The set I see the most is the Lehmann Rigi boxed toy like this I saw on Last Dodo. The simple box is quite lovely.
I think Blue Box made a version of this too.
I have visions of shoving Matt Mason in one. For some reason it reminds me of the Major.
Whichever brand, folks love their toy cable cars, as you can see from the many videos on You Tube, where a Rigi set can be found traversing gardens and as shown in these two, a fab Christmas scene and an interesting old toy room.
Checking for modern versions I found a fantastic looking set online by Jägerndorfer. I adore the big square box ( it reminds me of Aurora models) and the cable station building is out of this world!
There are multiple variants of this lay out available including a whole flotilla of cars going up and down.
See what you think readers.
Did you have a cable car toy? Do you still?
Do you like riding them? Where have you been?
