It was made by Britains and I'd love some more as I'm sure Tamsin would enjoy playing with it like I did, but sadly its becoming scarce and a bit of a collectors item so the secondhand price is rising, and you don't see it at car boot sales.

MIL tried to find it for DS recently but it seems to have vanished, probably to Scotland with SIL's (now grown up) kids I doubt it will ever reappear, they are great ones for clearing out old stuff, and not usually back to other younger members of the family, worse luck.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 We had a really ancient version of this, all made in painted metal - and I think I noticed some of it in the doll's house in Windsor Castle, no less, years later....it was great fun to play with it and was given to my mother for us by an old man who wanted children to enjoy it further...
