Hot Wheels Railroad Commercial 1985

[PYR0DARK]

My brother had a bunch of these sets, I remember I think railroad, city, and construction. They disappeared after we moved out of our parents house... wish they hadn't, would like to see them again.

I had that train but i do not know how much its worth do u know

[zarnock]

@busterbrown17 There are a few different sets there.... but they are all in demand. Stop into your local bookstore and look through my book "Hot Wheels Accessories, The Ultimate Guide" They are listed there with photos.

Awesome...I had this in 1985! Played with it constantly. I also had the Chessie System set as well as the "electric" Burlington Northern.

[supergamerbros]

They're bringing these back. 2011 Hot Wheels Rapid Transit.

[zarnock]

@supergamerbros that will be great!

[Amar7605]

How come "railroad" is equated with harmonica music?

BTW, I remember having a set when I was 7 years old. I LOVED it! But I think my mom gave my set away when I was older. I was disappointed but at least it went to a needy child at the time.

[zarnock]

@Amar7605 because the Hobo's that used to ride the trains would always play the harmonica and sing songs about their travels.

[Amar7605]

@zarnock Oh yeah, I remember now. Thanks for the history refresher!

[donwoo410]

had it....

[NitekMuscle]

Man, I loved the Freight Yard playset, because it remined me of the industrial areas near my neighborhood.

I wonder what is the scale of that train track.

[zarnock]

I am pretty sure it's HO scale which is 1/87

[SSN760]

@zarnock It is an "off-scale" that is unique to these trains.

I have one of these sets, and my three year old loves it. Then again, he loves all things related to trains. (His second word was "train")

[metroliner89]

@zarnock Yes it is HO scale!!! My HWRR trains work on HO tracks!

[scar259]

eh i kinda think its good but i think hot wheels should stick with the cars

[metroliner89]

@scar259 Nah I wish they'd bring these trains back!

[fireman6710]

@metroliner89 I KNOW I REALLY WANT MORE OF THEM!!!

[whoohaaXL]

I had that set as well.

"it runs on imagination, not electrisity"

another way of saying

"were lazy"

@exziler56

"it runs on imagination, not electrisity"..."were lazy" = another way of saying "I don't know how to spell."

[Semitruckman101]

I so want this!

[chrisced007]

I had one of those too. That track was so brittle. I ended up throwing it out. You are better of buying a real train set than to purchase this one.

[zzfan1]

I saw one at an antique store once, but I left it, it was missing a bunch of parts

[derailluver]

me need that!

[Stereoflip63]

[fastlane250]

[Delamaize16]

[giggleblaggle]
