This is an ex rental toy from http://www.toyhire.co.nz.

This fantastic toy is well used and still works well. All it needs is a 6V battery and a 6V charger.

1 forward speed.

Seats 1 child.

Track is a large figure 8 as shown and is included in the auction. (The expansion set from a circle to the figure 8 originally cost an additional $250.)

The box the track is packed in is also included. This storage box is quite heavy duty and sells for around $30 at Bunnings.

Originally cost about $899.99 on http://www.toyplanet.co.nz + figure 8 expansion + track storage box.

The motor and gear box work great. We've never seen either of these fail in the past 10 years.

Defects:

Needs a new 6V battery and 6V charger. (Electrical connectors are all provided.)

Sounds may or may not work. These run off 2 x AA batteries under the smoke stack.

Cosmetically in good condition. Defects can be seen in the pictures.

6V batteries and 6V chargers are easily found for sale elsewhere on Trademe or retailers like Jaycar and Dick Smiths. The ideal battery size is:

SLA6-12AH (94mm high x 145mm klong x 48mm wide)

With a new battery a 2 year old child will get many hours, and possibly days, of playtime out of this toy before it needs recharging.

A heavy 5 year old could probably deplete a new battery through continued heavy non stop use in 20 minutes.

You could put a larger battery in - you would just need to secure it under the seat effectively.

Most suitable for ages 2 - 3 years old. Fantastic party toy. Great for toy rental companies.

Please note: Item must be picked up and paid for within 3 days of Auction close.
