Clockwork Fun with Technofix

Hi

           I found these clips on You Tube, showing various toys in action. Most are working tinplate road or railway layouts, with the vehicles running around them. They are look like great fun. All seem to be by the same company, Technofix.

MINI WIND UP SPARKING MOON PROBE

You don't often see the Mini Wind Up Sparking Moon Probe, part of the Mini Wind Up range. This was on an online sale so I kept the pics.

Its an unusual looking space toy with its long sweeping blister dome like a steam-iron snout.

It includes this small silver thingy, which I'll have to read up on.

Colour variations include an orange version.

if I was to get one it would be the blue version.

Do you like them?

EGG-SHAPED SCURRY MOUSE

I had a chuckle when I saw this Mechanical egg-shaped Scurry Mouse on the Main Street Toys site.

How on earth does it scurry?

Have you eaten an Easter egg today readers?
