My dad set this up for me and my brother back when I was a kid, and we would play with it for HOURS. Over the years I always looked with envy at the big rigs and dump trucks passing by. Welp, it's never too late. I'm closing in on 50, and got my CDL earlier this year. I go into training to drive a tractor-trailer for a farm/ranch supply chain on Tuesday. 🤠👍

@jeremykiahsobyk102 5 месяцев назад

So the farm/ranch supply people ended up being total pieces of shit, so I went OTR. I've now picked up or delivered freight in almost every one of the lower 48, and been through almost every one I haven't. No Dakotas, Wisconsin, or Minnesota, or Maine, but everywhere else, I've been there.

That is cool. If I am not mistaken, tyco also incorporated a train crossing for your HO train to work with Trucking USA set.

@vistalite-ph4zw 3 года назад

Yes I had one and it was hard to find in my area. I finally got one at a Toys R Us. It was a straight track and was black. Don't know why it wasn't gray.

Santa brought me the "7 action" set. What a fantanstic toy! TYCO had it figured out right down to the low gearing. Kids of today have no idea what a great toy is! The very fact that you can find these, and they still work ,is a testament to the build quality. Thanks for the memories!!!

I have a number of the accessories in the original package. Fire Station's, Truck Stop, Pipe Unloading Crane, Auto Trailer, and others. Real nice layout.

@rennethjarrett4580 3 года назад

I never saw one like this. I often thought of using a slot track with a train layout and have it wired for a two lane road instead of the same direction side by side. Here Tyco did it with a lot of bells and whistles, so to speak. Thanks for the display and video!

@tommytunes7802 3 года назад

I've not seen anything as great in my 64 years. Pure genius on the storage part. The thrill is everything works at an astounding level. As an Aurora collector, I can say there was nothing quite like this. The best part - you get to actually play with this incredible set up. WOW

When I was younger, all my friends and I had at least 1 of the accessory sets for this line, with the 1 piece of track with the spur... but NONE of us had the actual set with the controller! So here we are, 30 years or so later... and thanks to RU-vid apparently deep scanning my brain... I now get to see a fully operational set!

@colinmacneil3497 Год назад

I never saw the car carrier one, I have the airport and the log one and one or 2 others, definitely need to pull it all out and set it up some day. This is totally bringing back so many rad memories, thanks for sharing.

I only have a couple of the original buildings and a clothes basket full of the gray US-1 track, but it would be a good start on a old ping pong table I have. I was hoping to see the rare black tow truck with yellow flashing lights on the roof.... and the fire truck with flashing red lights and a sometimes annoying dinging bell on his layout. I'll be sure to include them on mine.

I posted a remark about the Tyco cars & truck sets a couple of years ago. Our family loved them through out the 70s & 80s. This sad update is being made because we had a break-in where ALL of our classic toys, including Tyco, Erector, a significant portion of our American Flyer Trains, and much more was stolen. Who would have thought Tyco sets were a high risk collectibles? There’s no limit to the angst total strangers can dish out!

I now want to dismantle my recently built model RR and start all over with this!

That’s One Legendary Trucking Set There , Even though the set’s over 40 years old & I’am very surprised that it’s still working plus there were improvements because there’s lights along the roads plus the trucks have brighter headlights to guide them through & I just don’t like it , I love it .

@jonathangoad5518 2 года назад

I got this set, or much of it, for Christmas in maybe 1982. Loved it. So many functions. Unfortunately, the electronics started to malfunction a day or two later. Sent the steering console back to Tyco, they promptly sent a new one. That one began to malfunction pretty quickly too. Who knows? It was clearly a quality product. I might have got a dud. But still, I loved it when it worked!
