Hooking a horse to the front of one's car...... Hooks with looks.. and function!! I wonder if that is what the hooks on the front bumper of my '97 Hyundai Sonata were for... That silly car could have used some "horse power"!!

G'day, Karyn! Haha! Thats pretty good! By the way... "Five brothers wanted to buy a horse, so they all had to pony up." ;-)

You guys always put a smile on my face with your cool videos. I love "anything" with an engine. These early autos & steam carriages were some of my favorite. As a teen, I wanted to "hand craft" my own mini autos from aluminum cans. I instead make working model roller coasters complete with "hand crafted" rolling stock. Great video as always.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I tried to build a roller coaster in Ho but it went badly. Looked good. Didn’t eve come close to working.

You two were correct. This was the best saved for last. Once again I have had to change computers due to a shorted out key pad from the drool. You have dangled a few goodies before your camera and in some cases I was overwhelmed with greed and bought my own. But this sumptuous feast for the eyes is un-reachable. Always well done. Greg and Jeanne.

Love to see the original. Its at the Ford Museum in Dearborn. Greenfield Village. I think we should head out. BUT what a cool model. Ill bet it was a thing to drive it. As it runs on gas I could drive it all night.

[@oldschool8432]

Collector's attic is awesome. You have a lot of really neat stuff in there. I really enjoy your videos

[@ToyManTelevision]

And it’s fun to make!!

[@kerridillon3120]

How lovely! I would love to have a life sized real vehicle ! Happy Tuesday Mr. & Mrs. Toyman!

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

I've owned a few of those life-sized real vehicle.. which could have used a horse! They all too often, left me high and dry!! LOL! Have a good week!

[@kerridillon3120]

Karyn Felix-Angell thank you! Getting ready to fly home...My Mom's funeral is this Friday in NJ...but we are a strong family & rejoicing in her life raising 8 kids!

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

Kerri Dillon So happy you have a very close family. Those strong ties will help to see you through, and keep your mom’s memory alive through each of you. Blessings and a safe travel!

[@daviemaclean61]

Another superb large scale model. Of course, nowadays, you would have a space saver horse (or a foam horse in a can!)! ;-0

[@ToyManTelevision]

Oddly several of these cars worked better when pulled by a horse!! Like to see this done with a Ferrari

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

I have needed a horse-in-a-can! On many occasions! Push car-off-cliff... and ride horse home!!

[@buddyblair8878]

So it could of been one of the first mustang driven cars. Very cool model.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Built in fly swatter. Needs pollution system, shovel will do the trick.

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

Bronco and Maverick too! LOL!!!

[@bobbyslater1198]

Love it!

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

My fav!!

I have a question about the two blueish items on the shelf over your left shoulder. Are they cut pieces of rail? I have several pieces of rail from different places and types of rail- pear-head and U-shaped from the 1840's or 1850's, a piece of girder rail from the street car track in St. Louis, MO, mine rail, etc. I have a booklet printed by a scrap company showing the known rail sections from 8 lb to 155 lb along with crane rail of 105 lb to 175 lb. This lists the section, height, base, web, head height, head width, and fishing(area of the bars). What is interesting is that there were 27 different sections of 75 lb rail.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Karen got me about! Pieces of cable car rail. Wow!!!!

[@toddbehrends1373]

This car was manufactured in nearby Peoria Illinois. Matter of fact Peoria has a street named after the the company. There is a car in a museum in Peoria, not sure what one it is.

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

We definitely need to get back out there!!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Shame it didn't work. Lots of pissing and moaning. Ford like took it over or something. But was not to be.

[@stikibunn]

This is the nicest of the Victorian cars you've shown. Hey I'm wondering if you're into old cap guns and "war" toys of the 1950's and 60's? I was just watching ads for "Secret Sam" and "Zero M" spy toys and they're so cool! you couldn't make a realistic gun toy today.

[@stikibunn]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIbYlI2PeZypfas the toy guns I'm talking about

[@ToyManTelevision]

These are all cool models, but this one is the best!!!

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

Much is different today... We both grew up playing with cap guns, and where I grew up in the country.. Learning to shoot the ole 22 was nearly a right of passage. We went out in the middle of nowhere and learned to shoot at tin cans with adult supervision. We were taught respect for that "gun".. even the toy cap guns we played with. Everyone had a rifle rack in the rear windows of their pickup trucks... with rifles! This included my dad. But everyone had respect for those arms, and their proper use. I don't remember anyone breaking those boundaries. Ever. I love the toys of the 50's and 60's! The cowboy attire for the boys.. cap guns and tanks. GI Joe was a Barbie-sized doll back then.. Girls had talking dolls, baby dolls that moved and cried. Of course.. There was Barbie, Troll dolls, and my fav... Kiddles! We played games outside.. Tag, Cops and Robbers.. We enacted our own mini-dramas, and improved on them every day. As a child.. we were never indoors.. always outside. If you pestered a grown up.. they would put you to work. We came home long enough to eat lunch, and in the evening when the parents called their children home for supper, we had to help with dishes.. eeww! I remember some real good times. There were fun/ cool toys. Sometimes we got hurt.. But was all part of the learning experience! :D

[@stikibunn]

+Karyn Felix-Angell I can count the number of times I've seen a real gun on one hand. While it is possible to own a gun here in Australia we have to have a "legitimate use" which means the only people who have them are hunters or farmers. only the police have handguns and they have to use revolvers due to the semi-auto ban. I've never seen a cop draw theirs. they have sensors on the holster that record if it is drawn

[@ToyManTelevision]

WOW. A friend was a "Bobby" in London. He was part of their "gun" team and had some sort of assault rifle. Very few cops there have any gun. And he had to go in and get his if they were called out to a thing. spent one day per month testing with his guns. IF they shot anyone, they were automatically charged with homicide. Let the courts sort it out. AND no political bs, no demanding someone be charged and the police refusing to. Automatic homicide. The cops defend their position in public court, few are found guilty of anything, but they need to defend their actions in court. AND for the most part, the cops will only show up with a gun when raiding a building where they think there is a risk of the people there being armed. MOst cops never touch a gun. When I was a kid, no one ever shot cops!! That was insane!! Just asking to get killed. AND the cops almost never killed anyone. Today its the shoot out at the OK corral every day.
