Operating Erector Sets - Parachute Jump, Merry-Go-Round, Ferris Wheel

Thank you for watching the Atlantic Coast S Gaugers videos. The Erector sets are neat toys and it is amazing what can be made with strips of metal, screws, nuts, and imagination.

Very cool. I'm just getting back into Erector-set land with my seven-year-old daughter. Your display here is indeed topnotch and fun to watch. Thanks for posting and TG for AC Gilbert's imagination.

I never bothered to build the merry-go-round with my size 10 1/2 set back in 1959. I didn't like to bend those rectangular perforated strips and make the paint peel off of them! With a lot of effort, I did get the walking robot working, though. I sold that set a few years later and regret having done so.

This is a great video. I had 2 Erector sets when I was a kid. I built the airplane ride with the 5 1/2 set and the Parachute jump with the 10 1/2 set. It was so much fun. I spent hours building different models. I still have the same 2 sets today.

Hi. Yes.  They were, and continue to be, great toys. Thank you for watching our videos!

I had an erector set when I was a kid and played with it for hours. One of the all time greatest toys in history.
