This ones really cool. Not only because of the beautiful vintage craftsmanship but that it doesnt need batteries either. Its very rare that you see toys that use the clock work method nowadays. Great video too btw.
This reminds me of my toy from early 2000s. It has an battery powered engine car with gears, which used to automatically change it's body, so it can be dump truck or bulldozer, or an elevator's engine. The point of it also was to cycle delievering dozen of black balls. I loved it so much, and the idea of using only one mobile engine to power different mechanisms only when they need to be powered excites me until nowadays. It were made in France, but maybe i'm wrong. Edit: it was TOMY big big loader.
The main body appears to be produced using a technique called 'Vacuum Forming'. A thin plastic sheet is heated with a roll over radient heater to soften it then the form is lifted up into the sheet and a vacuum applied to suck it down onto the form. Sometimes an upper plug is used to assist difficult to draw areas. The sheet can have a pattern printed on it before forming to produce a finished looking part that may also need some cutting. This looks to have been done like that. It is a technique still in use as forms are normally first made in wood then casting resin used to produce production forms and aluminium ones used for even higher production. Injection moulding is totally different and uses much more expensive alloy or more usually steel mould tools and needs a high pressure injection press to squirt in the molton plastic.
hi work at a place the ploy this is made out was in rolls like vac the ploy was headed up and vac down they do thngs not the same in the usa alot of worker were ill in the old day because of the way thing were made
It's clearly a toy intended for children well above 3 years of age. Also the current regulation allows any kind of little pieces for toys intended for children above 3 years

I can only imagine just how many kids got that toy set as a Christmas present back in 1968!!!!

I think I may have had the exact same one.
It was the TOMY big loader, they did Thomas versions which I've got - definitely cool toys (although this one is a lot more interactive)
@@XtremeTrainz yes, this is it, thank you very much! I had "Big big loader" version.
Habe ich im April 2024 bei Ebay gekauft! Voll funktionsfähig!
I wonder why they don't make this days such as beautiful 🤩toys ?
So nice to see this model and working.👍👍👍

Thanks for showing your old childhood toy, very interesting...
I remember getting this as a child for Christmas it was grt fun, had it for years.
As an old guy from the 50s - loved these German toys as a kid.
German toys are overengineered toys and I love it ;)
The landscape is really nice. There is a turntable in the valley with different doors, i suppose into a mine.
I am loving these sets!
simply makes me speechless !!
hi work at a place the ploy this is made out was in rolls like vac the ploy was headed up and vac down they do thngs not the same in the usa alot
of worker were ill in the old day because of the way thing were made
Neat toys indeed!
Beautiful!
It's kinda like that old Big Big Loader toy, just writ very small!
Impressive
I want this. And the others that for some reason I’m seeing now.
Excellent Condition
The Algorythm is a mysterious Place
When was this "set" made?
J'adore
that looks more like a vacuform
Wow... the sound when you tapped the tabs is disappointing to say the least...
LOADING AND UNLOADING SHOULD HAVE BEEN AUTOMATIC
This toy seems dangerous to children. Some children may take out and then swallow the little stones / marbles during playing this toy.
Common sense prevails.
It's clearly a toy intended for children well above 3 years of age. Also the current regulation allows any kind of little pieces for toys intended for children above 3 years
