Wow, brings back some memories. I got this for christmas back in '82 I think it was, maybe '83. Everytime I had spending money, my dad would drive me down to the hobby shop and I would pick up a few more of the loading station sets.
My Dad's wife surprised me by unearthing this from basement after 25 years of storage. The memories came back immediately! This is one of the coolest toys I've ever seen, and mine still works perfectly after all these years. Just got the log bulldozer for Christmas, and thanks to your video I have a few other sets on my list. Great video!
i got a complete set for Christmas back in the 80's and my dad ended up taking it back to the place they got it from......his reason...son I am sorry but I think in a few years we won't be able to find anything for it and it will be useless.....what a asshole! I seen this and about cried! take care of this piece of history!
U bring back some remembery's I had the US 1 truck set, It was the REDLINE, red flat bed, with also the GREEN DUMP TRUCK, MAN I WISH I STILL HAVE IT IT WAS ALOT OF FUN, AND DO REMBER GIVING IT TO MY CUSIN, AFTER I HAD IT FOR AWHILE AND REGRETTED IT, thanks for sharing it the video,
I dream of someday owning this set in its entirety with all the other cityscapes, and being able to set it up in a place where my cat can't bat around and lose the trucks, pipes, gravel, and other accessories.
This is a great day - the memory of this race set surfaced around a decade ago. I had this set for maybe a day when I was a little kid, loved it, but it was gone the next day (my parents returned for reasons unknown). After years of searching, I have found the set! Thanks for posting.
I asked for one of these for Christmas in 83-84, but my parents said they never heard of it, and I kept asking for a few years after for it, same thing they never heard of it. Should I send a link of this video to them to see if they would get it for me now? :)

@jmn120176 I don't worry about the cats so much as my niece, who insists on refilling the gravel bin but is too clumsy to actually do it :/

I used to have this set! Just the basic one with one or two things to do. I never got the rest of the accessories. Thanks for the memories.
